Linda Pierce: The Southington Outsider Video Q&A
On October 1, the Southington Outsider sat down with the candidates running to represent Southington at the State Capital. Those included Linda Pierce, who is challenging incumbent Donna Veach for the right to represent the 30th District, which encompasses much of the eastern quarter of Southington.
Both were asked seven questions: four that were posed to all candidates, two that were crafted by their opponents, and one they wrote for themselves.
Pierce's answers can be viewed below. For each question we have provided a time-stamp in boldface numbers, for quick reference.
The interview was filmed and edited by Wayne Edwards, with help from Jay Sanders.
