Jeff Hoover continues his primary election coverage with District 5 magistrate candidate Clifton Bunch.

Bunch, a Russell Springs business owner and EMT with the Russell County Ambulance Service, shares his background and explains why he’s seeking a seat on the fiscal court. He talks about wanting to be a “working magistrate,” staying visible in the district, driving county roads regularly, and being directly accessible to constituents.

The conversation also covers cooperation between city and county government, handling disagreements on the fiscal court, responsible spending of taxpayer dollars, and the role local government can play in supporting infrastructure and economic growth.
