All candidates were asked the two questions below:

  1. Why should voters choose me for the office I am running for?
  2. What will success look like at the end of my term in office – what specific goals will I aim to accomplish?

Mid Bay News did not edit, alter or otherwise change the responses received from the candidates.ย 

This Submission is from Okaloosa County Commission Candidate for District 2, Matt Turpin.ย
