About this guide
This will be a local guide to the candidates running for office and how to find out more information about their campaigns and where they stand on the issues. It will be updates as new information becomes available. There are three pages with candidates for County Board, School Board and City Council.
I will be updating this site with links to websites, social media accounts, candidate answers to endorsement questions, campaign finance reports and newspaper articles about their candidacy.
