In less than a month Michigan voters will head to the polls for the august third primary election.  They'll choose candidates for several key races including the state's next governor.

       7&4 news will introduce you to the candidates for many of these races all during the month of July as part of our Decision 2010 coverage.

     Tonight we're profiling the candidates running for the 101st District State House of Representatives race.

     The district covers Benzie, Leelanau, Manistee and Mason counties.

     We asked each candidate the same question -- "What is the most important issue facing Michigan?"

     They each got the same amount of time to answer.

     Here's what they had to say.

     Dan Scripps currently holds the 101st District House seat.

     We will continue previewing the elections in our area leading up to the August primary.
