Candid candidates

Since the June 3 primary is just one week away, I invited local candidates to share their thoughts with you here on Food for Thought. 

All week you’ll see which candidates accepted the invitation, and how they chose to present themselves to you.  

In the spirit of fairness, we will publish opposing candidate’s side-by-side statements on the same day.

Today we begin this political series with the Shasta County Superior Court judge race between candidates Dan Flynn and James Reed.

Stay tuned all week to see the other candidates’ pieces. 

This is Food for Thought’s first election experience. As always, we encourage readers to offer feedback and suggestions so we might do an even better job in November. 

I look forward to the resulting bright questions and civilized dialogue that’s become ubiquitous throughout Food for Thought’s comment section.
