Border security, voting fraud and the national debt were among issues explored by candidates in a forum sponsored by Collin County Conservative Republicans.
Candidates for nomination in eight races pitched their qualifications at the Jan. 25 event at Collin College in Plano. The GOP primary is Tuesday, March 5.
The forum was co-sponsored by the Collin County GOP, Plano Young Republicans and the African American Republican Club of Collin County.
It began with a patriotic poem by fourth grade student Harlow Wolf, who also sang the National Anthem.

So, in some cases, candidates opted to use an additional 30-second block to respond more fully.
