NEWS ALERT: Sheriff Candidates Talk Issues

BY KELLI PEACOCK DUNN

In an effort to educate and inform local voters, The County Record is beginning a new political series. Our purpose is simple. When candidates speak at open forums and rallies, you hear what they want to tell you. Those forums are great opportunities to meet and greet those seeking office, but we wanted to take it a step further and ask some specific questions so voters could compare where each candidate stands on the issues.

This week, we have been interviewing the seven candidates vying for the Calhoun County sheriff post. We will conclude with interviewing the final candidate today, then begin posting one answer each day for the next five days. All candidates were asked the same five questions. We will continue this series with candidates in all the local races.

Watch for an e-alert and Facebook notice with the first round of questions and answers!
