This episode of Everyone Has a Story is a little different than our normal format, but it’s exactly what this podcast was built for, our community.

The people asked for it, so we sat down with Franklin County District 2 commissioner candidates Robert Swainston and Joe Steele for two separate 30-minute interviews.

Same questions. Different answers. Different perspectives.

We wanted to create an opportunity for the community to hear directly from the candidates, learn more about who they are, what they stand for, and how they plan to help shape the future of Franklin County.

No arguing. No shouting matches. Just real conversation.

No matter where you stand politically, we encourage you to take an interest in your local community and get informed before heading to the polls.

Primary Election Day is May 19.
Listen in, stay informed, and make your vote count.
