Eye on Oshkosh - Winnebago Cty Br. 1 Judicial Race candidates Michael D. Rust and Eric Heywood answer questions

On the latest edition of Eye on Oshkosh, host Cheryl Hentz talks with two candidates vying for a judicial spot in Winnebago County Circuit Court Branch 1 this spring. Michael D. Rust and Eric Heywood, both current Court Commissioners in Winnebago County, spend the hour discussing their background and position on different issues facing them, if elected to the bench this April 2024.

Besides their qualifications and experience, the candidates field questions about justice and fairness in our court system and what they’ll do to ensure it; how they’ll manage a very heavy caseload; what they most and least like about their job as Court Commissioner; what reforms they feel are necessary to our justice system; courthouse security, order and decorum; and how they stay abreast of changes within the legal and court system; among other topics.

A third candidate, LaKeisha Haase, is also vying for this seat. There is a primary election on February 20, 2024, and one or both of the candidates appearing on this show will go on to the general election on April 2.

Eye on Oshkosh - Oshkosh Common Council Candidates Ulrich and Larson - taped 2-1...

On the most recent edition of Eye on Oshkosh, host Cheryl Hentz talks with Kristopher Ulrich and Kris Larson, two of the five candidates running for Oshkosh Common Council in the upcoming April 2024 election.

The two candidates talk about why they're running for Council, and share their thoughts on development in the city and affordable housing, landlord-tenant issues, proposed vehicle registration fees, what they feel is working well in the city and what isn't, etc. They also discuss what experience they've had serving on other boards, commissions, or groups and how that experience will lend itself to their service on the Council, if elected.

There are three Council seats available this Spring, so three of the five candidates running will be elected to serve a two-year term.
