Student-Candidate Interviews

Connect your students directly with candidates

C70 will help your class interview candidates running for office. We work with you to connect with candidates or public officials from all parties. Your students supply the questions about issues they care about. We then stream these 15-20 minute interviews live on Facebook and YouTube for the public to watch.
