Rep. Patrick McHenry and GOP primary challenger Ken Fortenberry faced off at a March 3 forum in Asheville, discussing their positions on jobs, health care and more.
McHenry is currently serving his fourth term representing the 10th District, which was redrawn last year to include most of Asheville. Fortenberry, who works as a publisher in Denver, NC, is trying to unseat him in the May 8 primary.
In these videos, McHenry and Fortenberry discuss their approaches to the economy and what should be done to create more jobs.
