Harvey Gantt is interviewed by a reporter in Durham. Gantt says that his position on the issues will appeal to undecided voters, including education, student loans, tax deductions, and senior citizens. He compares himself with his opponent, Jesse Helms, who has voted against education and to cut Medicare. On tobacco, Gantt says that he wants to protect working families (farmers) and keep cigarettes away from youth. On Helms's negative campaigning, Gantt says Helms is trying to change the subject so he doesn't have to talk about the issues. Other topics include connecting with constituents, the importance of the young vote, why he is running again, and distrust in politicians.
