1. How would you implement your top priority?

Answer from John Boehner:

While the framework is in place to strengthen our nation's public schools, we must not lose sight of our goal to Leave No Child Behind. We must continue to expand options available to parents with children in underachieving schools. And we must inject more resources into reading and teacher quality programs to ensure the stability of public schools in the years to come. Much work lies ahead, but we're off to a great start..

Answer from Jeff Hardenbrook:

No one in our society should have to choose between food, medicine, or other daily necessities. I will work in a cooperative, bipartisan manner to benchmark existing programs in our states and also other countries, to assure that our national legislation can provide prescription drug benefits with affordable co-pays and premiums under Medicare. This national legislation must also create stronger prevention programs via NIH and CDC initiatives; and encourage comparable state and local programs.
