EDIT (6:09 PM): Thanks for the conversation everyone. I have to run to our next campaign event but I enjoyed answering your questions. Remember to check out our policy statements for more indepth answers and see you on August 7th!

I'm David Benac, and I'm running for Congress in Michigan's Sixth District. From the beginning, our campaign has been about returning our seat in Congress to The People and making sure they have a voice against the corrupting influence of money in Washington, D.C. Our campaign has been endorsed by Brand New Congress and Justice Democrats, as well as numerous other national and local organizations and candidates http://benac2018.com/endorsements

In the past 14 months, our campaign has knocked on over 40,000 doors. We have called thousands of people to talk about our platform, and we hosted 20 in-person town halls across the district (something Fred Upton hasn't done even once since 2011). I believe that face-to-face voter contact is extremely important. Your representatives must listen to your concerns and act on those issues in Washington, rather than listening only to the concerns of their big donors. I am running to represent everyone in our district, NOT the corporations.

I'm looking forward to answering your questions here today – ask me anything!
