Great Debate

Candidates seeking Republican nomination to run for the Michigan Supreme Court will be on hand to meet the public and answers questions live and direct without the filter of media commentary. Judge Mark Boonstra, Representtive Andrew Fink, Judge Patrick William O'Grady, and Attorney Alexandria Taylor will participate in the Great Debate. The event in the FloodGate Church in Howell, Mich., will take place at 6:00 PM and is co-hosted by PIME and Stand Up Livingston.

Starting a 6 PM on Thursday, Aug. 8, four of five candidates seeking nomination for Supreme Court justice will meet and mingle with the public at the Floodgate Church in Hartland.

At 6:30 PM, candidates will respond to a battery of revealing questions, followed by lightning-round questions, allowing one-minute answers. 

We the People will be able to see the candidates’ mastery of facts and their sincerity and character. None of the candidates will have prior access to the questions. 

Former federal judge William Wagner, renowned attorney Erick Kaardal, and Kyle Melinn, Senior Editor of MIRS, will serve as moderators.

This remarkable level of participation is possible due to hours of planning and due to the willingness of candidates who are grateful for the opportunity to tell voters about their credentials and principles. Democrat candidates were invited as well. They did not respond perhaps because they have already received their party’s nomination and are set to appear on the November ballot.
