Ron Wright, running for Cayce City Council District 1

1. Why are you running?
I want to serve my community and help make Cayce an even better place to live.

2. Have you run for political office before? If so, explain:
No, I have never done anything like this before.

3. Current job/profession, or if retired, past job/profession:
Former Certified General Real Estate Appraiser. Retired from state government - 15 years with SCDOT and 3 years with LLR.

4. What makes you qualified for the seat?
As a former real estate appraiser with a broad background, I can offer a good perspective on issues related to development and rezoning. I also have a good academic background: Bachelor of Science degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science (Georgia State University and Limestone College.)

5. What challenges/concerns do you see in the area the seat you're running for represents, and how do you intend to improve them?
Encourage responsible development to broaden the tax base. Improve infrastructure and parks. Increase pay for police and firefighters.

6. What successes have you seen in the area that you want to build on?
Cayce is currently in the middle of a storm drainage project. While overdue, it is very good to see this issue being addressed now. I want to continue with this type of progress.

7. Any plans to address infrastructure? If so, explain.
Absolutely. See previous responses.

8. Are you actively involved in the community? How so?
Most recently, I was a volunteer for the Tunnel to Towers 5k race. I frequently attend city council meetings and stay informed about local issues.

Hunter Sox, running for Cayce City Council District 3

1. Why are you running?
I’m running to continue leading with the values I was raised on—treating people right, being accountable, and making government work for the residents it serves. Over the past four years, that approach has delivered results: I reformed city budgeting to stop wasteful and deceptive practices, saving the average Cayce household $200 annually. I’ve also helped grow our business community and supported the development of new neighborhoods, the first in nearly a decade.
We also have soon-to-be-announced public safety partnerships that will place officers directly in our district, making families safer and response times faster. Under my leadership, our corridors are finally beginning to see change—dilapidated businesses are coming down, new commercial growth is taking shape, fresh landscaping is on the way, and Airport Boulevard is scheduled for resurfacing in 2026. These tangible improvements are placing District 3 at the forefront of Cayce’s redevelopment. But the work is far from finished, and losing momentum now would risk undoing the progress we’ve fought for. Together, we can keep Cayce moving forward and build a city that future generations will be proud to call home.

2. Have you run for political office before? If so, explain:
Yes. I was elected to Cayce City Council in 2021 as the youngest councilmember in the city’s history. Since then, I’ve represented District 3, which includes neighborhoods near the airport, and have focused on infrastructure improvements, corridor revitalization, and fiscal responsibility.

3. Current job/profession, or if retired, past job/profession:
I serve on the Cayce City Council, representing District 3, and work at a public affairs firm where I advise clients on complex public and private sector issues. I also support my family’s small businesses when needed.

4. What makes you qualified for the seat?
I bring proven results from my first term on Cayce City Council—reforming budgeting practices to protect taxpayers and making city government more accountable. In 2022, I received a scholarship to the Congress for the New Urbanism, where I studied planning and zoning strategies that I’ve carried back to Cayce.
I also know how to get results. I’ve built trusted relationships with neighboring municipalities, Lexington County, state leaders, and our congressional delegation, and I’ve used that network to deliver real opportunities for Cayce.
Combined with my professional work and my deep family roots in Cayce, I bring the experience, credibility, and values needed to continue serving effectively.

5. What challenges/concerns do you see in the area the seat you're running for represents, and how do you intend to improve them?
The biggest challenges in District 3 are aging infrastructure, dated corridors, and the need for stronger public engagement. Stormwater remains one of the most pressing issues citywide and right here in District 3, and I continue working with Lexington County and SCDOT to deliver long-overdue improvements.
Our corridors also need to be reimagined. Airport Boulevard will receive new landscaping in 2025 and a full resurfacing in 2026, but that’s just the start. I will launch an Airport Corridor Committee that brings together regional and local stakeholders to pursue funding, modernize design standards, and create a true gateway that supports redevelopment and growth.
Finally, we need more public input and education. I created a monthly newsletter that now reaches over 900 residents with every City Hall vote, supported livestreaming all council meetings, and would like to see one regular meeting replaced with a work session to make government slower, more transparent, and more accessible. Equally important, we need to do a better job of educating residents about planning and zoning practices, so they understand how these decisions shape our future. When people are informed, they can be stronger advocates for responsible growth and partners in building a better Cayce.

6. What successes have you seen in the area that you want to build on?
Over the past four years, we’ve made real progress in Cayce by focusing on redevelopment and transparency. We’ve grown our business community, brought new neighborhoods to market for the first time in nearly a decade, and opened up City Hall through livestreamed meetings and regular communication with residents.
But our greatest successes have come through partnerships. As the Midlands grows, we all grow together—what’s good for Columbia, West Columbia, Springdale, or South Congaree is also good for Cayce. Through these partnerships, we’re able to align priorities, share resources, and move projects forward more effectively.
The Airport Corridor Gateway plan in District 3 is a great example. Together with West Columbia, Springdale, South Congaree, Lexington County, and business leaders, we’re working to secure funding and reimagine the corridor—not just with landscaping and infrastructure, but as a catalyst for small business growth, redevelopment, and long-term opportunity. These successes show what’s possible when we collaborate, and I want to keep building on that momentum to strengthen our economy and our community.

7. Any plans to address infrastructure? If so, explain.
Yes—addressing infrastructure is one of my top priorities. Stormwater remains a pressing issue in District 3 and across Cayce, and I’ve worked with Lexington County and SCDOT to move long-overdue projects forward.
We’re also preparing for major improvements to our gateways. Airport Boulevard will be resurfaced in 2026 with new landscaping, and Charleston Highway must see similar attention. My vision is to modernize these corridors with sidewalks, bike lanes, lighting, and buried utilities so they become safer and more attractive for residents and businesses.
Infrastructure also means making sure our water and wastewater systems can support future development. Cayce operates the sixth-largest wastewater system in South Carolina, with a service territory that spans far beyond our city limits. It’s a major economic engine that helps attract jobs and investment to our region, supports the development of new neighborhoods and businesses, and keeps utility rates stable for families.
By linking infrastructure to managed redevelopment and growth, and by collaborating with our regional and state partners, we can deliver improvements that address today’s challenges and lay the groundwork for long-term revitalization.

8. Are you actively involved in the community? How so?
Yes—I’ve made community involvement a cornerstone of my service on council. I’m active in many parts of our community: I’m a member of the Cayce-West Columbia and Columbia Chambers of Commerce; serve on the Cayce Public Safety Foundation; have served on the Cayce Beautification Foundation and the LiteracySC Board of Directors; support scholarships for Brookland-Cayce High School seniors each year; and advise Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity at the University of South Carolina.
To me, community involvement means being present, accessible, and working alongside residents, businesses, and organizations to strengthen Cayce and create opportunities for the people who call it home.

9. Anything else you want to add?
Cayce is my home, and serving our residents has been the honor of my life. We’ve made significant progress in strengthening neighborhoods and initiating the redevelopment of our key corridors, but there is still more work to be done.
Strong leadership and experience matter, and I’m committed to keeping taxes low, attracting new investment, and building a Cayce that future generations will be proud to call home.

Brandon Mundy, running for Irmo Town Council

1. Why are you running?
I’m running because Irmo has given so much to my family and me, and I feel called to give back. I love this community, and I want to help guide its growth in a way that protects our quality of life while creating opportunities for the next generation.

2. Have you run for political office before? If so, explain:
No, this is my first time seeking elected office.

3. Current job/profession, or if retired, past job/profession:
I’m a licensed realtor serving the greater Columbia area. Before real estate, I worked in industrial maintenance and plumbing.

4. What makes you qualified for the seat?
As a realtor and small-business professional, I work every day with families and local businesses who care deeply about how Irmo grows. My background in maintenance and plumbing gives me a practical understanding of infrastructure, while years of negotiating contracts have taught me how to listen, find common ground, and get results. Most importantly, I’m a lifelong neighbor who wants what’s best for our community.

5. What challenges/concerns do you see in the area the seat you’re running for represents, and how do you intend to improve them?
The biggest challenge is balancing growth with infrastructure. Our roads, utilities, and public services must keep pace with new development. I’ll push for thorough research and traffic studies before approving projects, and I’ll work closely with residents, businesses, and engineers to ensure growth enhances, rather than strains our town.

6. What successes have you seen in the area that you want to build on?
Irmo has a strong sense of community pride and a reputation for great schools, beautiful parks, and family-friendly events. I want to build on those strengths by supporting local businesses and enhancing community spaces so Irmo continues to be a place where families thrive.

7. Any plans to address infrastructure? If so, explain.
Yes. I will advocate for a long-term infrastructure plan that prioritizes road improvements, traffic management, and utility upgrades. By partnering with state and county agencies and ensuring new developments pay their fair share, we can keep our infrastructure strong without placing the burden solely on current residents.

8. Are you actively involved in the community? How so?
Yes. My wife and I raise our daughter here and participate in local events, schools, and neighborhood activities. Through real estate, I help families find their homes in Irmo, and I stay connected with local businesses and civic groups.

9. Anything else you want to add?
I believe leadership starts with listening. My goal is to represent every resident, keep Irmo’s small-town charm, and make thoughtful decisions that will keep our community strong for years to come.

Gabriel Penfield, running for Irmo Town Council

1. Why are you running?
I’m running because I would like to continue participating in the one of best roles I’ve ever had in my life. Serving our community has become its own reward. I’m also running to set an example for others who I hope to inspire to serve their local communities.

2. Have you run for political office before? If so, explain:
Surprisingly, this is my third campaign in just 2 years. I first ran for council in November of 2023 and came up short by 25 votes. I ran again in the special election the following February for the former Councilman Bill Danielson’s seat when it was vacated by his becoming Mayor. The term for that seat ends this November, so here I go again.

3. Current job/profession, or if retired, past job/profession:
I own a financial planning practice, in which I’ve been serving for 23 years. I’m also fortunate to have some great business partners who operate Poore House Furnishings in Irmo, as well as Parking Lot King.

4. What makes you qualified for the seat?
I was voted “Most School Spirit” in high school, and missed “Class Clown” by one point. I love people and want to have a good time. My other qualifications include serving on the Carmel Commons HOA board. I’m a board member for Carolina Wildlife, the Greater Irmo Art Guild, and serve on the Irmo Events Committee. I’m an Optimist Club member, a Greater Irmo Chamber of Commerce member, and a graduate of the Leadership Lexington County Class of 2025.
I co-founded Tribal Coffee Company, Poore House Furnishings, Parking Lot King, Maverick Cigars, and I’ve consulted in many other local businesses in town. Additionally, I’ve been a student of John Maxwell for 23 years.
I see myself as a diplomatic person. I love and care about everybody, especially those who need special handling. Being a council member is more than just being good with people. Being a council member means being an example. While I’m far from perfect, I understand the gravity of being in the public eye and leading from the front as an example.

5. What challenges/concerns do you see in the area the seat you’re running for represents, and how do you intend to improve them?
The biggest challenges are the enormous gap between the impossible rules, the underfunded budgets, and the public criticism that comes with making decisions. There are no compromises—there are only trade-offs.
The public can feel under-informed, and in some cases apathetic. I hope to increase the number of people who take interest in what’s going on in town business. I also hope to inspire them to educate themselves so that we can close the gap between the reality of things and the perception of them.

6. What successes have you seen in the area that you want to build on?
The Arbor Day Foundation has made a permanent impact. As you drive through Irmo and notice the trees that line the railroad tracks, you can see that. Our parks are well-maintained, and they add to the charming atmosphere that neighbors have created. We don’t necessarily need to make the town bigger to make it better. What we need to do is reach out and get more people involved in aspects of our community. People already enjoy the International Festival, the concert series, and even smaller events like the chili cook-off. These have so much potential as we continue to grow intelligently. I would also like to see the implementation of an architectural review board to ensure we maintain our cozy charm.

7. Any plans to address infrastructure? If so, explain.
One of the biggest misconceptions people have is that Irmo does a poor job of managing its roads. The reality is that Irmo only has three or four roads. Most of the roads are maintained by the respective county and/or the Department of Transportation. The county and the DOT are overwhelmed with requests and fulfill them as they can. As they say, the harvest is great and the workers are few. This requires patience, as well as communication with those respective agencies to get potholes fixed and water pipes repaired. We can’t legally intervene, but we can report issues and follow up. I have found that I can get more done with honey than with vinegar.

8. Are you actively involved in the community? How so?
As I mentioned earlier, I’m involved in the Chamber, my HOA, Leadership Lexington, and as a board member for Carolina Wildlife Center. I am a cofounder of the Greater Irmo Art Guild, serve on the Irmo Events Committee, and am an Optimist Club member. During Hurricane Helene, our team volunteered to cut trees for those affected by the storm damage. We also gathered donations for those in Western North Carolina. I stay very active on social media to be accessible and respond quickly. I connect people who can help each other and look for every opportunity to help. I swing at every pitch, and I always keep my ear to the ground for opportunities to help someone in need.
We are also hosting a Christmas tree drive this year—we’ve already received 52 Christmas trees—and we look forward to passing them on to families in our community. My goal is to continue to encourage community involvement.

9. Anything else you want to add?
I want to redefine what it means to be a public servant versus simply an elected official. I want people in these roles working as hard as they can, and if they’re not, I want the role to be attractive to those who will.
Every election should involve a handful of people clamoring to get these seats, we're creating an environment that attracts people who want to make a difference.

Adam Raynor, running for Irmo Town Council

1. Why are you running?
I’m running because I believe Irmo deserves thoughtful leadership that listens to residents and puts their concerns first. Our town is growing, and with that comes challenges that includes infrastructure, safety, and maintaining the character of our community. something I think the current Mayor is losing vision of. I want to make sure growth happens responsibly, not at the expense of the people who live here now.

2. Have you run for political office before? If so, explain:
No, this is my first time running for political office. I’ve always cared deeply about this community, and after attending meetings, talking with neighbors, and watching how decisions are made, I felt called to step up and make sure residents’ voices are represented at the table.

3. Current job/profession, or if retired, past job/profession:
I’m a retired U.S. military veteran and current private government contractor. My career taught me discipline, accountability, and how to work under pressure to solve problems — qualities I’ll bring to serving the Town of Irmo and with conversations with our current aggressive Mayor.

4. What makes you qualified for the seat?
I’m not a politician — I’m a neighbor who’s willing to listen, ask questions, and fight for what’s right. My background in service has given me the ability to bring people together, weigh tough decisions, and keep the focus on solutions, not politics.

5. What challenges/concerns do you see in the area the seat you're running for represents, and how do you intend to improve them?
The biggest challenges are overdevelopment, 'Vision 2035', strained infrastructure, and loss of trust between residents, neighbors and town leadership - to include town administrators. I intend to bring transparency back into decision-making, slow down reckless growth until infrastructure catches up, and make council meetings a place where residents are respected and heard.

6. What successes have you seen in the area that you want to build on?
Irmo has a proud history of community events like the Okra Strut, youth sports programs like our Little League team that just recently made it to the World Series, and a strong network of local businesses. I want to build on that spirit by supporting more community-centered initiatives that strengthen our identity and keep Irmo a welcoming place to live.

7. Any plans to address infrastructure? If so, explain.
Yes, infrastructure is one of my top priorities. Roads, traffic flow, and public safety services need to be planned alongside any new development, not after the fact. I will work to prioritize funding and planning for infrastructure before approving large-scale projects that add more strain.

8. Are you actively involved in the community? How so?
Yes, I attend council meetings, talk regularly with residents about their concerns, and have been directly involved in efforts to hold leadership accountable. Staying engaged and informed helps me better understand the needs of our town.

9. Anything else you want to add?
Growth is inevitable, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of the people who live here. Our decisions must put residents first, not just business revenue, the next development project, or the Mayors pet projects. I want to invite more residents into the process, so we can shape a future that feels like home for everyone — a town where we all have a voice and feel heard.

Daniel Davis, running for Town of Pine Ridge mayor

1. Why are you running?
I have enjoyed being the ambassador for the Town of Pine Ridge for the past four years and would like to continue in this role. As mayor, I have been able to personally support and interact with our local organizations (e.g. schools, the library, the Senior Center, Pine Ridge Women’s Club, sports teams); it has been a pleasant task.

2. Have you run for political office before? If so, explain:
Yes. I have been on the Pine Ridge Town Council since 1995, the past four years I have served as the mayor of Pine Ridge.

3. Current job/profession, or if retired, past job/profession:
I am currently retired. Prior to retirement I worked with the Department of Disabilities and Special Needs for 37 years serving children and adults with Autism.

4. What makes you qualified for the seat?
My previous years of experience in working with the public, my ability to help problem solve, my joy of public service, and my past tenure on the town council.

5. What challenges/concerns do you see in the area the seat you're running for represents, and how do you intend to improve them?
Managing growth. Like most of Lexington County, Pine Ridge has become a magnet for residential development. While we consider our town to be a welcoming “bedroom community”, growth must be tempered with managing the influx of new neighbors so our infrastructure is not overwhelmed.

6. What successes have you seen in the area that you want to build on?
We want to continue working on our positive relationships with other municipalities and county affiliates to improve services for the citizens in and around Pine Ridge.

7. Any plans to address infrastructure? If so, explain.
Yes. One of the town’s biggest infrastructure needs is the paving of Fish Hatchery Road. We were pleased to see that the SCDOT 2026 Pavement Improvement Program included paving Fish Hatchery Road from Hwy 321 to Pine Ridge Drive.

8. Are you actively involved in the community? How so?
Yes. As mayor, I have been able to personally support and interact with our local organizations (e.g. schools, the library, the Senior Center, Pine Ridge Women’s Club, sports teams).

9. Anything else you want to add?
Thank you for the opportunity to answer these questions.

Ben Vaughan, running for Springdale Town Council

1. Why are you running?
I have no desire or aspirations to be a politician, I'm just someone who loves Springdale and I want to do what I can to help it grow responsibly and thrive in the future. This is not a situation where I'm running against any other candidates, I think they've all done a fine job on our council and I'd be honored to serve alongside any of them. I just believe that any kind of board, commission, council, etc... benefits from new voices from time to time, and I'd just like to offer my voice to represent the residents of Springdale and the direction that they'd like to see the Town move in the future.

2. Have you run for political office before? If so, explain:
I have not, this is my first time running for any sort of political office.

3. Current job/profession, or if retired, past job/profession:
I've been employed for over 19 years at a software provider in the Upstate. My current title is Director of Client Solutions and our company essentially works with organizations in all industries such as government, healthcare, insurance, commercial, etc... to evaluate business processes and use technology to make them more efficient.

4. What makes you qualified for the seat?
I've lived in Springdale since 2013 with my wife Amber and our two sons, Parker and Bryson, who attend Airport High School and Fulmer Middle School. We are members of Mt Hebron United Methodist Church where I also serve on the Board of Trustees. I feel like I represent a portion of Springdale residents that have school age children and want to make this Town their long-term home. I don't have any political qualifications and haven't held this type of office before, but I've built a career by asking the questions about why things are done the way they are and if there's a better way to do them. I feel like that experience will help me evaluate how our Town is operating and make suggestions to make things more efficient and also ensure the Town is growing responsibly. I don't profess to know it all by any means, but I intend to be open and accessible and listen to our residents to hear and understand what they want for the Town.

5. What challenges/concerns do you see in the area the seat you're running for represents, and how do you intend to improve them?
Part of Springdale is composed of ranch style homes on larger lots, occupied primarily by long-term residents. The other part is newer homes occupied by newer residents. I want to ensure that all residents of Springdale feel that their voice is heard equally by the Council and the know that we will listen and act upon them. It is easy for people to slip into an "us versus them" mentality and become divided, and my goal is to ensure that doesn't happen and that we build one community full of friends, not just neighbors.

6. What successes have you seen in the area that you want to build on?
As characterized by the new homes, our Town has a lot to offer residents looking for a place to settle in the Midlands. Our location can't be beat, we have one of the absolute best elementary schools in the Midlands, an incredible buffet restaurant, and in the past few years we've had a family-friendly biergarten open that has really provided a place for residents to come together and spend time with each other. As I'm answering these questions, they just hosted a 5K run that brough runners from all over the Midlands here to run the streets of Springdale and then have lunch together afterwards. Those things have really laid the foundation that we can use to turn our Town into the "go-to" place in the Midlands for new families. I think we can build upon these successes and grow responsibly, while focusing on building that sense of community. For example, imagine if a local resident followed a dream to open up a coffee shop here in town where folks could stop in the morning to get breakfast and a coffee while saying hello to their neighbors, and students from Midlands Tech could study and work on group projects. Things like that are my vision for Springdale.

7. Any plans to address infrastructure? If so, explain.
One thing I've learned throughout my career is that my best chance of being successful is listening to people that know more than I do. So while infrastructure is certainly a priority, I'm no expert in infrastructure so I plan to listen to the other council members and residents that do know more about infrastructure and how it affects them and the Town, and then act in the best interests of the Town.

8. Are you actively involved in the community? How so?
Most people that live in Springdale have seen me out walking our 4 year old yellow lab named Ryder almost every day! I'm often referred to as "the guy with the backpack that walks the dog every day"! Both of my kids attended Springdale Elementary where I also helped coach the Run Hard program to help kids meet a goal of running their first 5K. You are also likely to find me at The Dales on the weekends having dinner and enjoying spending time with my friends and neighbors.

9. Anything else you want to add?
I look forward to serving the residents of Springdale if they decide that I'm the additional voice they want to represent them. I'm striving to be someone that each resident feels they can contact at any time with concerns, feedback, or suggestions and feel that they will be heard and taken seriously!

Mike Green, running for West Columbia City Council District 1

1. Why are you running?
I’m running because I believe West Columbia can — and should — be the most transparent, conservative, and responsive city in South Carolina. I want taxpayers to be fully informed about how their government operates. Also, I ran to get real things done: for example, getting the Wilton Road bridge repaired after five years of effort. That showed me that steady leadership, working with people, and refusing to give up gets results.

2. Have you run for political office before? If so, explain:
Yes — I’ve served on the West Columbia City Council (District 1).

3. Current job/profession, or if retired, past job/profession:
I’m a real estate investor. I run AH Holdings, and I work hands-on with buying, investing, and managing property.

4. What makes you qualified for the seat?
Proven track record: One of conservative and limited government. Voting against every tax increase.
Experience: Having served on Council gives me familiarity with how City Hall operates, what works, what doesn’t.
Real world business experience: As a real estate investor, I deal everyday with maintaining property, costs, financing, infrastructure, and customer service. I understand both the citizen’s view (what services should be like) and the cost side.
Commitment to transparency: I believe government should be open, accountable, and responsive to taxpayers.

5. What challenges/concerns do you see in the area the seat you're running for represents, and how do you intend to improve them?
Water infrastructure: We are investing money to be proactive rather than reactive. Example: the water plant upgrade to ozone water treatment to improve quality.
“User experience”: Citizens deserve services that just work — trash pickup, road maintenance, etc., without confusion or long delays.
Growth & Development: We need development, but it must be smart growth — matching infrastructure, saving resources, avoiding sprawl, keeping what makes our community special.
Revitalization: Some under-used or blighted areas need to be redeveloped — better mixed-use development, better riverfront, more access to amenities.
I’ve pushed for new tools like a drone unit in our police department and supported ShotSpotter technology, which already saved a life in one of our parks by locating a gunshot victim within 12 feet of where it occurred.
We have also hired more EMS staff to add to our fire department, resulting in more lifesaving and faster care when seconds matter.
While serving on council, our fire department achieved an ISO 1 rating—placing West Columbia among the best-prepared cities in the nation. My focus is on continuing this progress while planning smartly for future needs

6. What successes have you seen in the area that you want to build on?
Repairing the Wilton Road bridge after years of delay — shows that persistence and teamwork pay off.
Progress on the water plant upgrade with ozone water treatment — positioning West Columbia among the first in the state.
Maintaining effectiveness in day-to-day city operations while keeping citizen focus at center: ensuring services run smoothly, being responsive, prioritizing transparency.

7. Any plans to address infrastructure? If so, explain.
Continue upgrading our water system: ensuring clean, reliable water with new ozone treatment, repairing aging pipes.
Yes. Infrastructure isn’t just about roads—it’s also about the essential services families rely on daily. During my time on council, our fire department earned an ISO 1 rating, the highest possible, and we expanded EMS staffing to deliver better, faster care. These results show that with steady leadership, we can strengthen services while managing growth responsibly.

8. Are you actively involved in the community? How so?
Serving on City Council, interacting with citizens, listening to concerns.
Member of Grace Baptist Church
I believe in keeping citizens informed, letting them know how to report problems, ensuring services are responsive.

9. Anything else you want to add?
I believe in leadership that doesn’t chase headlines but does the hard work every day. Things like transparency, responsiveness, and long-term planning might not always be flashy, but they make a real difference in people’s lives. If re-elected, I’ll keep focused on treating every citizen like a customer — respecting their rights, communicating clearly, and delivering on promises.

More Q&As will be published online and in future editions of the Chronicle before the election.
