Ask the Candidates: Tim Kaine and George Allen

Are you concerned about the economy? What about sequestration or federal government cutbacks? Are you worried about the environment? Traffic in Northern Virginia? The cost of health care?

Now is your chance to step up to the podium and get your questions answered.

As we approach November's election, we will be asking U.S. Senate candidates George Allen and Tim Kaine — former Virginia governors engaged in one of the closest Senate races in the country — to answer a Patch candidates' survey. The survey will be driven by questions from you.

You can submit your questions in the comments section below this article, or email them to lauren.sausser@patch.com or erica.hendry@patch.com.

The deadline to submit a question is 11:59 p.m. Sept. 24. We'll review all the submissions, pass questions along to the candidates and come back with the answers in October.
