Candidates List Reasons They Should be Elected

Redlands' conservative base got another chance to hear from their political candidates thanks to the Redlands Tea Party Patriots, who hosted a meet-the-candidate event April 5.

Congressional candidates Bill Jensen and Rep. Gary Miller and U.S. Senatorial hopefuls Dan Hughes and Dirk Allen Konopik addressed the crowd of more than 200 people who packed the banquet room at Mill Creek Cattle Co. in Mentone.

The men were asked to tell their audience who they were, why they were the right person for the job and how they would work toward solutions. All also spoke about their ethics, political standards and personal beliefs. Each got about 15 minutes.

This is the second election season event for the Tea Party Patriots. The first was a March 1 forum featuring two of the three San Bernardino County Third District candidates.

We've included audio of the four candidates making their pitches for those unable to attend last week's event.
