Seven Democratic contenders vying to replace long-serving state Sen. Fred Risser in Wisconsin's 26th Senate District faced off in a Cap Times candidate forum on July 29. Cap Times political reporter Briana Reilly posed questions to Brian Benford, William Davis III, Nada Elmikashfi, John Imes, Amani Latimer Burris, Aisha Moe and Kelda Roys.

The candidate who emerges from the Aug. 11 primary will represent the district, as there is no Republican challenger on the November ballot.
