On Saturday, August 25th , CAIR-Columbus hosted its “Pizza and Politics” candidate forum in the Ohio State University’s U.S. Bank Conference Theater.
Participants included Richard Cordray, former CFPB Director and candidate for Governor, and Steve Dettelbach, former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio and candidate for Attorney General. The event lasted approximately 90 minutes and was attended by over 100 people. The candidates took questions prepared by CAIR-Columbus and questions asked by audience members. Questions focused on the Mueller probe, student debt, and election security, among many other topics.
The forum was moderated by CAIR-Columbus Legal Director Romin Iqbal and CAIR-Columbus Public Affairs Coordinator Usjid Hameed.
