72 Candidate Interviews Including Governor, Congress, State and Local Elections for 2022 Primary

(Crystal A. Proxmire, July 27, 2022)

Each year Oakland County Times gives candidates for any office an opportunity to do a video interview. Below is a list of candidates who have filmed interviews. Some are still in the queue for editing and will be posted soon.

For a complete list of candidates and ballot issues, visit the Oakland County Clerk’s Election Page.

Videos are added as we can up until Election Day, so please check back often for new interviews.

Oakland County Times does not endorse any candidates, and advertising does not imply endorsement. Thank you to Pontiac Community Foundation for sponsoring this series. All candidates are welcome to do interviews. Contact editor@oc115.com for more information.

TIP: There are many changes this year due to redistricting. Use your browser’s search function to look through the page for your city’s name if you’re unsure of your districts.
