Sanford Bishop asked constituents to judge him on the actions in his 30 year record in Congress in a debate on Sunday ahead of the midterm elections.

His opponent, Chris West, a younger lawyer and developer without much of a record to run on, asked voters to consider what Bishop hasn’t achieved. He asked them to think about a nagging ethics investigation over alleged misuse of funds and to decide that maybe, it’s time for a change.
