(Crystal A. Proxmire, July 27, 2022)

Each year, the Oakland County Times gives candidates of any position the opportunity to do a video interview. Below is a list of candidates who have filmed interviews. Some are still in the queue to be edited and will be released soon.

For a complete list of candidates and voting questions, visit Oakland County Clerk Election Page.

Videos are added gradually until Election Day, so check back often for new interviews.

Oakland County Times does not endorse any nominee and advertising does not imply endorsement. Thanks for Pontiac Community Foundation for sponsoring this series. All applicants are invited for interviews. Contact [email protected] for more information.

POINT: There are a lot of changes this year due to redistricting. Use your browser’s search function to browse your city’s name page if you are unsure of your neighborhoods.
