Flashpoint: Congressional candidates speak about their campaigns prior to Michigan’s election

Watch Flashpoint every Sunday at 10 a.m. on Local 4 News and Local 4+

DETROIT – In a year where political debates have been few and far between, two candidates sat down and discussed the issues defining their campaigns.

In the race for the newly created seventh congressional district, Democratic congresswoman Elissa Slotkin is the closest thing we have to an incumbent - she’s currently representing the eighth district. Running against her is the Republican state senator Tom Barrett.

It’s not a debate in a classic sense -- we ran no stopwatches on answers or rebuttals. Both of my guests are trusting me to keep it fair and equitable and I’m grateful for the trust.
