Speak Up: Questions for Local Election Candidates

Pose questions for the candidates for Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District Board of Education and the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District Board of Directors.

With Election Day less than two months away — and sooner for you early voters — it's becoming increasingly important to know more about these candidates and their plans.

For school board, four candidates — Chuck Rogge (incumbent), Belia Martinez, David Jonas and Thomas McLaughlin — are vying for two seats.

For the park district's board of directors, two candidates — Bob Coomber and Mark Thrailkill — are vying for one open seat. Incumbents Steve Goodman and Beth Wilson are both running unopposed.

In order to make your decision at the polls just a little easier, we'll be reaching out to all candidates to have them answer your questions. So ask away!

Post questions in the comments below and tell us what race (school board or park district) it's directed to. After we've racked up enough questions, we will relay them to the candidates in an interview.

Rafael and his crew do great work, and not just lawn service. He replaced our sprinkler system andRead More sodded two new lawns when we moved into our house. He and his crew have trimmed trees, planted flowers, and even built a new fence and gate. All at a fair price. I can't recommend his services enough.

Thank you D! We couldn't be happier to have a program like this in our community. We couldn't agreeRead More with you more that giving back is the whole purpose of the program; to make our community a stronger more musical one for our youth!

Kevin and Chris are good guys. They genuinely want to give back and care about introducing as manyRead More kids (young and old) as possible to the incredibly rewarding world of music. I am fortunate enough to have had somebody similar to these guys motivate me to get involved in music when I was a kid. 31 years later, I am still beatin’ on my drums every day. Great job Kev and Chris. Keep it up!
