All Republican candidates appearing on the ballot in the March Primary were invited.

Candidates in the contested races in the State House 52nd District and McHenry County Board 3rd district answered questions submitted by voters.

Questions ranged from candidates involvement with the Republican Party to the State and County’s financial status, use of open space and gun rights.

After the Q&A session attendees were invited to stay and enjoy pizza provided by the Nunda Republicans and to take the additional opportunity to meet the candidates and ask them questions directly.
