72 candidate interviews including 2022 gubernatorial, congressional, state and local elementary school elections
(Crystal A. Proxmire, July 27, 2022)
Each year, the Oakland County Times gives candidates for all offices the opportunity to conduct a video interview. Below is a list of candidates who filmed interviews. Some are still in the processing queue and will be published shortly.
For a complete list of candidates and voting matters, visit the Oakland County Clerk’s election page.
Videos will be added as much as possible leading up to Election Day so please check back regularly for new interviews.
The Oakland County Times does not endorse any candidate, and advertising does not imply endorsement. Thank you to the Pontiac Community Foundation for sponsoring this series. All candidates are cordially invited to interview. Contact editor@oc115.com for more information.
