News-Gazette QAs with County Board Candidates in Districts 4 & 5

​The News-Gazette.com has been publishing one-on-one Question & Answers with 22 incumbents and contenders in Tuesday's General Election races.   Among the Q&As were the four Republicans and four Democrats running for four Champaign County Board seats in Districts 4 and 5.  Visit this page at the News-Gazette for more on the QA series. 

The District 4 and 5 candidates were asked the following questions:

• A good chunk of the population probably couldn’t name the district they live in and their representative on the county board. What’s your best argument for why they should care about this election, and the board itself? Why do you want this role, at this time?
• What are three adjectives to describe the kind of representative voters
 would get in you?
• These are hyper-partisan times we live in, which has been evident in county board meetings on several occasions. Is it possible for members of 
the two parties to work together? Is it necessary?
• If elected, what issue would you make priority No. 1 — and how would you
 go about solving it? 
• Why are you the best person for the job?

​
 The candidates' answers to more of the six questions posed are accessible under the Election 2022 tab on the News-Gazette's website (https://www.news-gazette.com/election/2022/).
