Judging Philosophy
CX
Judging approach: Policy Maker
Policy priority: Communication skills and resolution of substantive issues are of equal importance
Evidence philosophy: Quantity of evidence and quality of evidence are of equal importance
Paradigm: I like to say whoever can back up there evidence in a convincing way and can stick with their ideals throughout the debate, that’s what I look for. Also, I like when senators talk clear and not fast so that I can understand them and their opponents can as well.
