Kathy LeCompte (R-Brooks) (center), candidate for House District 22 and Fred Thompson (R-Salem), Schrader's challenger for the U.S. Fifth Congressional District, were on hand to answer questions from the moderator and the audience. Missing, however, was Betty Komp (D-Woodburn), who confirmed her reservation but didn't show up.
