It’s now down to two candidates, Carolyn Cerny Bilski and Leighton Schubert are running for the vacated Texas House District 13 position previously held by Lois W. Kolkhorst.  They met at Tony’s February 5, 2015 for a question and answer forum.  The back meeting room at Tony’s Family Restaurant was standing room only with several people even moving to the front to sit on the ground to hear the candidates.  The event was hosted by the Austin County Republican Party in an effort to help people become familiar with the candidates so that they can make a more informed decision at the polls.  The questions ranged from fiscal responsibility to border security to personal views on matters concerning both Texas and our local area.  Both candidates were given a chance to respond to these questions which were written on forms and submitted to the Master of Ceremonies Michael J Skrivanek.   The forum lasted roughly an hour and a half and Austin County News Online was there to record the event.  You can watch the video of the entire forum below:
