Higgins and Austin go head to head

The two candidates for District 5, Dina Higgins and Phil Austin debated the issues last night at Red Mountain High School. Every vote is going to count in this race - especially with the large undervote this time around.

From the comments, it sort of appears to be a passionate approach versus a measured approach to problems. Higgins appears to advocate calling people out, making the hard decisions, and taking action. Austin appears to advocate for bringing people together, building a consensus approach, and talking about the way things ought to be instead of how they sometimes are.

It will be interesting to see which approach appeals to the voters the most.
