Only Albrecht and Lods show consistent public engagement, and they seem to have significantly more experience doing the specific job, because they are incumbents. This not only means they have more years of direct experience, they would presumably have way more knowledge about current issues in the county. Without direct outreach from the 3 Democrat candidates, we can only assume that this year will be a repeat of last year, where voters have no substantive campaign information to compare if the democrat challengers could be potentially different or better than the Republican incumbents. Transparency and accessibility matter.

A brief review of our methods: We send snail mail and emails to the candidates via addresses they provided to the county clerk. We regularly attend political meetings and campaign events. We do google searches of all candidates. We have suggested more cooperation from the county at county commissioner meetings multiple times. We have written to all state legislators about changing state election law to have counties do this type of service themselves.
