• VIDEO: Meet the 2012 Primary Election Candidates

  Each year before the election, The Lebanon Reporter introduces readers to the candidates in opposed races. Republican candidates in the May 8 primary are vying for their party's nomination for Boone County Council, Auditor and Coroner. Scroll down to see each candidate's education, experience and community activities, as well as a short video interview.

  The candidates were asked these three questions:

  • What do you want voters to know about you?
