On November 4th, Monomoy Regional High School hosted a debate between the five candidates running for Congress in the Ninth Congressional District, Representative William Keating (D), Dr. Mark Alliegro (R), Mr. Chris Cataldo (I), Ms. Anna Grace Raduc (I), and Mr. Paul Harrington (I). The five questions asked were on a wide range of topics created by students from Mr. John Dickson’s AP US Government class. Each student had a position. Kira Foster was the moderator, the panelists were Sarah Hemeon, Ben Dube, Colleen Cronin, and Rudy Fratus. Students who did not speak directly had other roles including sound/lights, candidate handlers, video, and social media.
Question One asked “ What should the government be doing to improve the economy? Should the government try to reduce income inequality perhaps by increasing the minimum wage?” Raduc stated that it was impossible to make a living on minimum wage, and that the government should increase the minimum wage. Cataldo stated that the minimum wage should “raise itself”, by that he meant that the business’ should pay people wages that make sense. Incumbent Keating stated that the minimum wage should be increased, emphasizing that “the economy is stronger when there is a strong middle class.” Finally Alliegro stated that raising the minimum wage is exactly what government interference entails, and that the government should “keep its hands off the marketplace.”
Question Two dealt with the rising cost of college tuition, and asked “What can congress do to make college more affordable?” Cataldo stated that since the time that many of the older people were in college, the price has risen dramatically. While in days past one could pay their way through college, the cost now makes that impossible. Keating spoke next, and stated that 2 plus 2 programs, where one spends the first two years of their college career completing classes at a community college before completing their education at a state school, is a good option now for those looking to save money. Keating also spoke of how he believes a college loan should be negotiable, much like a mortgage is, allowing people to pay less. In Alliegro’s answer to this question, he rebuted Keatings opinion by stating that the government shouldn’t be pushing people into 2 plus 2 programs, and that the federal government should not be making money off of education. Harrington stated that education is the lifeblood of the economy, while emphasizing the high cost of a college education. Raduc stated that she agreed with President Obama’s idea to supply six billion dollars of government funds for college.
Question Three asked “Do you believe that there are racial disparities in economic status and police treatment that the government needs to address, and if so, what should the government do?” Keating, who himself was former District Attorney and comes from a police family, stated that as a DA he knows that every case is different, and every situation needs to be looked upon on a case by case basis. Keating believes that early education can address some of the issues of racial disparity. Alliegro stated that the interactions minorities have with the police are not a social issue, but rather an economic one. Harrington, a former public defender in Dorchester, said that the vast majority of police are doing their jobs well, but the small minority that are not need to dealt with. Cataldo argued his point well, by saying that in America we incarcerate more people than in any other nation. He pointed out that the police do indeed have a difficult job, and that we need a national standard of force. He also said that the criminal justice system has made the government a significant amount of money, and the entire system should be reevaluated. Raduc then stated that there should not be racial inequality, and that she has traveled around the country, and seen that there is indeed still unspoken segregation in many parts of the nation.
Question Four asked “What if anything do you think the government should do to address gender pay equity, sexual harassment, and sexual assault?” Alliegro stated that there is no gender pay gap. Harrington believes that there should be equal pay for equal work, but on that note no two people will ever work the same. Raduc said that the gender pay gap should not be a political talking point, and the pay for men and women should be the same. Cataldo addressed the sexual harassment portion of the question. He said that if we look at Trump, and look at Clinton, who have both been involved in some sort of sexual scandal, that there should be a national discussion going on, but there is not. In our country where one in five women are sexually assaulted, neither the democrats nor republicans have done enough to address this issue. Keating said that while acting as district attorney, he was able to set up work place programs to deal with issue of sexual harassment. Keating believes that education is key this problem.
Question Five asked “With humanitarian crisis in Syria, Sudan, and elsewhere, what should we be doing to reduce suffering, help refugees, and prevent future atrocities?” Harrington spoke first and said that there needs to a better screening process to prevent terrorists from entering the United States. Raduc wanted a proper vetting process as well. Cataldo spoke passionately about how the United States needs to stop toppling foreign dictators. He also mentioned the Syrian Civil War, which he stated was not a civil war, but rather a proxy-war in which foreign governments are fighting each other on Syrian soil. With 50,000 foreign fighters on the ground, and the Kremlin benefitting from the war, he said we cannot allow this problem to continue. He also believes that the two party system has failed the nation at large. The two party system, according to Cataldo, divides the nation between republicans and democrats, and leads to a hostile environment in which factional divide is keeping the nation from addressing the issues at hand. Keating said that it is hard to do anything about either issues directly, but both require a political solution. Alliegro said that we should not be involved in the Syrian conflict.
The final question asked each candidate who they were voting for. Raduc stated that she liked things about both candidates. Cataldo was not comfortable disclosing who he was voting for, but he was quick to point out that Keating is a super delegate. Cataldo believes that the very notion of a Super Delegate overrides the will of the people, and is undemocratic. Keating stated that he had already voted for Hillary Clinton. Alliegro stated that he would rather vote for Donald Trump, and although he was not his first choice it was in his opinion better than voting for someone with possible federal charges. Harrington, like many others, held the sentiment that this is the worse choice he has ever had to make. Harrington is voting for Hillary, because he believes her to be the less dangerous option.
After the final question, each candidate was given thirty seconds to give a closing statement. The approach each candidate took in their closing statements were each radically different. Raduc went over some of the things she had previously spoken of, such as the pay gap, and inequality. She ran out of time, and asked that we vote for her. and asked that we vote for her. Cataldo brought up the opiate epidemic that we face on Cape Cod today He said the opiate problem is a major issue, and even though there was no question asked about it, it needs to be addressed with a solution that will work. Keating said that he had started a heroin task force as DA in his closing statement. Alliegro said big government is the enemy of the people, and it is the biggest issue we face, Finally, Harrington said that the American Republic is divided into two great parties, and that is the biggest issue we face today.
The Debate shed new light on not only the candidates policies, but their personalities as well. Throughout the debate, Cataldo spoke with intensity, and confidence without sounding arrogant. His dissatisfaction with the current state of the government was clear, but the solutions he had to address the issues facing America were clear as well. The first time the audience applauded, even when they had been asked not to, was during one of his passionate answers. Keating spoke with the confidence that only a congressman could have. Raduc seemed nervous, and often ran out of time while giving her answers. Alliegro had the greatest amount of support in the audience. Harrington was confident as well. The choices we will soon face are difficult, but the debate shed new light on each candidate.

Monomoy Hosts State Senate Debate

Monomoy Exit Polls the Primary
Credit: Brian Morris, WCAI
Press Release: March 1, 2016: Monomoy Students Conduct Exit Poll
On Tuesday, March 1, Senior U.S. Government students from Monomoy High School conducted an exit poll at the Harwich Community Center. In all, seventy students participated and 413 voters were interviewed. Most of these voters, 64%, voted in the Democratic primary. Among the Democrats, Sanders led 59% to 40%, and among Republicans, Trump led with 46%, followed by Rubio (21), Kasich (17), Cruz (8) and Carson (5). Most of the voters approved of the job Pres. Obama has done – 53% to 38%, with 9% undecided.
Breaking the results down by gender, women were 9% more likely than men to vote Democratic, which is the about the same gender gap we usually see. Among Democrats, men were more strongly for Sanders (67-33 over Clinton), while women were more evenly split (54-45 for Sanders). Among Republicans, men supported Trump more strongly – 49-23-16 over Rubio and Kasich, while among women, the race was a bit closer – 42-21-20. Women were more supportive of Pres. Obama’s performance – 56-32, while men’s support was 49-43.
By age, we compared younger (18-39 years old) to middle aged (40-59) to older voters (60+). Younger voters were a bit more likely to vote Democratic – 68% of younger voters compared to 65% and 61%. Within the party primaries, there were dramatic gaps. Among Democrats, young people favored Sanders 81-18, compared to 58-41 and 52-48 among middle aged and older voters. Among Republicans, young voters actually favored Rubio 45-41. Middle aged voters favored Trump 54-20 with Kasich getting 7%. Kasich came in second with older voters with 24% compared to 44 for Trump and 17 for Rubio.
We asked voters to cite up to three issues as being most important to them. The economy was the cited most - by 65%. There was not much difference among the candidates’ supporters within each party, but there were significant differences between those voting in the two party primaries. The economy was cited by 77% of Republican voters, compared to 56% of Democrats. The deficit and national debt was cited by 52% of Republicans vs. 20% of Democrats. Foreign Policy was also a greater focus for Republicans – 47% compared to 38%. Other issues were more of a concern for Democratic voters – Health Care (51% to 26%), Education (40% to 14%) and the Environment (36% to 7%).
We also asked about a potential November election between Clinton and Trump, which Clinton led 53% to 30% with 17% undecided. With this matchup, the gender gap was especially large, as women favored Clinton 62% to 23% with men much closer at 44% to 37%. Clinton led among all age groups, though least decisively among younger voters (46-35, compared to 59-29 and 52-28 among middle aged and older voters). Looking at the other candidates’ supporters, some interesting patterns emerge. Sanders supporters favored Clinton 64-12 with 24% undecided. Rubio supporters favored Trump 44-19 with 36% undecided. Interestingly, Kasich supports were evenly split 28-28 with 44% undecided. This suggests that Democrats would have an easier time uniting behind Clinton than Republicans will around Trump.
On a related issue, we asked if voters would consider voting for an independent in November, and 64% said they would. A majority of all three partisan groups agreed – 53% of Democrats, 66% of Republicans, and 73% of Independents. This is dramatically different from the results that we got when four years ago when 36% of the voters said they might support an independent. This might suggest a possible opening for an independent candidate like Michael Bloomberg.
We would like to thank Harwich Town Clerk Anita Doucette for her continuing support of our students in allowing us to conduct this exit poll, and to thank all the voters who took the time to talk with us. The exercise offers us great insights into the electoral process as well as this election. We look forward to November!

Field Trip Day 3 - Caucus Day in Iowa
Caucus day at last! Some folks at home saw us on TV this morning - see clip below from New England Cable News - I think this same clip was on the Today show. We are on briefly at 0:23.We called a couple audibles. First, with a snowstorm set to drop a foot of snow tonight in Des Moines, we booked a room in Davenport where it is supposed to be just rain. This means an Eastern Iowa day which we started at the Trump rally in Waterloo at 11. 
The Donald in person! 
We were treated to a half hour speech that might be best described as rambling. We got some pictures and signatures after. We got a late report of Sarah Palin being added to the 130 Trump rally in Cedar Rapids, and since we had decided not to head back to Des Moines, we had time to go check that out. Gov. Palin did not disappoint. 
Her speech, and Trump's as well, seemed like a greatest hits of clips we've seen on tv. Palin: we're gonna hold on to our God guns and Constitution. Trump: we're gonna win so much it'll hurt.Trump: We're gonna build a wall.Trump: I feel bad I've spent no moneyAfter grabbing a bite, we headed to a Cruz rally at the Grace Baptist in Marion. This had the spirit of a religious revival. Cruz played well to a crowd of true believers. 
Most impressive was that he took questions - the only one among the top candidates that did so - and did an excellent job on tough questions about ethanol and his controversial recent mailer in Iowa (one that warned voters that their voting record was poor and they should caucus to improve it, Cruz defended his effort to get more voters out). We decided to attend the Caucus at Iowa City 21 on the campus of the University of Iowa. 
It was packed - 760 voters broke their record from 2008 by almost 50%. We were in the observers corner. 
The crush delayed the process and the crowd passed the time singing folk songs. After the O'Malley folks were deemed not viable under the 15% rule, Sanders won 582-177, 7-2 with the delegates to go to the County Caucus next month. 
His win was not too surprising given that these were college students. After the caucus, and a stroll though the University of Iowa campus, we watched the results at The Mill restaurant for a while, we drove to Davenport for the night which should keep us ahead of the storm in the morning. 
In the end, Cruz won the Republican caucus with Trump second, and Rubio a surprisingly strong third (28-42-23), and the Democrats ending in essentially a tie, with Clinton perhaps claiming a very slight edge in "delegate equivalents".
His win was not too surprising given that these were college students. After the caucus, and a stroll though the University of Iowa campus, we watched the results at The Mill restaurant for a while, we drove to Davenport for the night which should keep us ahead of the storm in the morning.

Iowa Caucuses Field Trip Day 2
What a day! We started early, heading to Carly Fiorina event at the Waukee Hy-Vee. She kept emphasizing her six point blueprint. Wasn't the best at answering questions. Posed for a picture with us. 
We headed back to the hotel where we had a great time with or new friend Pat Harris, Mike Huckabee's big sister. She was a teacher - "There are two kinds of teachers - tired and REtired." She might ride with us to Chicago to beat the storm. 
We then headed to a event for Martin O'Malley. A different feel as we were in Judy and Tom's living room. 
Tom is the precinct chair for Johnston 2 where we may head tomorrow night. We got to talk with them while waiting and with Sen. Michael Brown and Rep. Franklin Garcia of the DC shadow Congressional delegation that I didn't know existed. Then we went out on the lawn as the candidate was about to arrive and I was interviewed by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Weird. 
O'Malley gave a nice talk and posed with the students.
Next we stopped by the State Capitol 
Also stopped by the Caucus exhibit at the Stare Historical Society
From there we headed to the Huckabee event at the Inspired Grounds coffee shop in West Des Moines. The kids got to talk to Sen. Chuck Grassley who made campaigning in all 99 counties famous - he does it every year - it is known as the Full Grassley. He told them, "You have a chance to be governed or to help govern. I hope you get involved." 
Huckabee gave a nice speech which was quite critical of the other Republican candidates and he posed with the kids also. 
The Valley Jumction neighborhood was really cool. 
From there we tried to go to a Santorum event which meant showing up in toney neighborhood at someone's house. They were nice but we thought it best to wait on the driveway where a bunch of the "caucus tourists" that we have met at various events had gathered - we had a nice chat with them on the balmy 45 degree day. 
When he candidate didn't by 4; we hopped back on he bus to get to Ames for the Christie rally at the Prairie Moon Winery. Christie was very entertaining as he ripped into Rubio and Cruz and Trump, and he also posed for a nice photo with us. 
After a quick dinner at Panera, we went to the Clinton Rally. It took about 45 minutes for us to work through a quarter mile long line because of the Secret Service metal screening of everyone- again we were thankful for the relative warmth. When we got in Sen. Harkin and his wife were speaking, then after a video, Chelsea and Bill warmed up the crowd. 
Hillary then gave a rousing and well-received populis speech. I was impressed by her energy. As every Republican speaker we saw attacked her, she also heavily criticized the Republican candidates. 
Similar enthusiasm at Clinton and Sanders events this weekend - it is expected to be a very close Democratic caucus tomorrow. We did t get out until after 10, so we jus headed back to the hotel. Tomorrow we see Trump!
Next we stopped by the State Capitol Loved the 99 county map

Iowa Caucus Field Trip Day 1
We arrived in Chicago at 11am CT and after grabbing food boarded our bus and headed to Iowa. Our timing was perfect to get to the Bush Rally in Cedar Falls at 4. Along the way we went through scenic NW IL on US20 (passed a ski area - who know?) went through Galena - home town of Ulysses Grant and crossed the Mississippi into Dubuque. 
The Bush Rally was at the Elks Lodge in a very rural part of the state. 
Bush was introduced by Rep. Kinzinger and Sen. Grassley. 
Bush gave a good short speech and then took questions. His answers were very detailed and kind of wonky - e.g. his seven point plan on Social Security. 
At one point he came into the crowd to hug a guy right next to us and almost decided to hug the students as well. 
From there we drove an hour down to downtown Cedar Rapids - a good sized city - for the Sanders Rally. This was a very different crowd in a very different part of the state. And a very different message. He was introduced by Cornel West - the kids had read an excerpt from Race Matters in their summer reading. 
Sanders gave a rousing populist speech to a receptive crowd. 
He hit hard on the themes of equal rights and income inequality, including attacks on Goldman Sachs and the Walton family, who he described as controlling the same amount of wealth as the bottom 40% of the country. 
From there we got dinner at a mall in Coralville and opted out of trying to catch the tail end of the concert at UIowa. So we headed to Des Moines and settled into the Microtel Inn and Suites in Urbandale. The first day has given us a great introduction to the state and to caucus politics. So much more to come tomorrow!
