Submit Questions for the 4th District Congressional Debate

As a college community, we are hosting the 4th District Congressional Debate on October 12th at the KSL Broadcast Studio and have been asked to have students participate in the debate process by submitting video questions. Here are some guidelines for your submissions:

Introduce yourself with your name and your role here at SLCC (“I am YOUR NAME and I am a student/staff/faculty member at Salt Lake Community College…”).

Pick a quiet place with good lighting; neutral backgrounds are preferred. If you are using your phone to film. please do so horizontally — with your phone turned sideways — and keep the camera steady.

Keep the question around 15 seconds.

Suggestions for question topics can include COVID-19 response and plan, the economy, police brutality, systematic racism, climate change or anything else that may affect you or your fellow Utahns.

Please submit your videos to debate@utahdebatecommission.org by October 7.

If you would like to stop by and record your response in person, we will have a booth set up for filming questions at our voter registration table at the Taylorsville Redwood campus. We will be in the AAB lobby on September 28 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and October 1 from 9 to 11 a.m.

Are you a staff or faculty member interested in submitting a question? You can do so on the day of the debate via social media.

Thank you for participating in our democracy!
