How to watch & what to expect
How we run interviews
Every candidate gets the same 20-minute format with the same questions for their office. We publish the question list for each race before we go live so voters know what to expect. No gotchas, no editorial framing: just candidates in their own words.
Where to watch live
Each interview airs simultaneously on Hardin Local's Facebook page and YouTube channel. Watch links are posted to our page the morning of each interview day. Replays stay up indefinitely.
Why we do this
Hardin Local runs fair-standard interviews for every contested race, regardless of party or office. Local elections shape property taxes, road budgets, law enforcement, and schools, and most voters never hear directly from the people asking for their vote. This series fixes that.
