How Well Do You Know the 2022 Candidates?

SGGL Candidate Questions Project

In September 2022, SGGL asked candidates who represent the Sequim/Dungeness Valley to tell us about their views on good governance-related issues. Our project included candidates for six positions: Clallam County DCD, Clallam County PUD, Clallam County BOCC, Clallam County Sheriff, and the two Legislative District 24 Representatives.

We asked candidates to answer between 8 and 11 questions, depending on the position. We think you will find the responses quite enlightening and educational.

Below are the hyperlinks for each candidate. Click on a name and read away.
