This is the first of two Meet the Candidates pages that will give voters more information about those who are running for city government positions. Questionnaires were made available at each city hall and at the News-Democrat & Leader office. Only those candidates that returned the questionnaire will appear in the newspaper. In Friday's edition, candidates for the Russellville and Auburn city governments will appear.
