Here is Part 1 of last week's Senatorial Candidates Forum

Senate candidates vying to fill Jon Kyl's seat gathered together at Las Fuentes Friday afternoon (July 13, 2012) to introduce themselves to the standing-room-only audience and answer a questions.

Jeff Flake and Wil Cardon, aguably the two better known candidates in the race to represent Arizona in the US Senate, were joined by Bryan Hackbarth and Clair Van Steenwyn, two other candidates that also collected enough signatures to be on the ballot.

Moderated by the Yavapai County Republican Chair Malcolm Barrett, Jr., the candidates each made an opening statement, and then answered questions from the audience. The candidates finished up the forum with a final statement.

Here are the opening statements and the first two questions from the audience. Tomorrow, we'll bring the next questions and the closing statements.
