Speak Up: Questions for Local Election Candidates

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.
