Jeff Hoover continues his series of interviews with local candidates ahead of the upcoming election, speaking with Larry Skaggs.

Skaggs discusses his background and long history of public service, including time in the U.S. military, law enforcement, serving as Russell County coroner for 16 years, Russell Springs City Council, and his current role as District 5 magistrate. He talks about the responsibilities of serving on the Russell County Fiscal Court, particularly managing county road budgets, prioritizing infrastructure needs, and working through the annual county budget process.

The conversation also covers cooperation among fiscal court members, the importance of respectful disagreement when making decisions, and ideas for future economic development in Russell County. Skaggs also shares why he believes his experience and record of service make him the right choice for reelection as District 5 magistrate.
