ALBANY, GA -- The Municipal Auditorium downtown was hot as two Congressional candidates squared off Thursday night.

Democrat incumbent Congressman Sanford Bishop and Republican State Representative Mike Keown debated in front of a full house. All of the government hot topics were up for discussion.

Keown says he wants to vote down the health care reform and leave Don’t Ask Don’t Tell alone.

Bishop says he supports energy independence by drilling for oil in the U.S. and by having farmers help create our own biofuel.
