Meet Rory Rought - Candidate for Sheriff In Muskegon County

We're doing what we can to give you a chance to meet candidates for office this year in Muskegon.  There is an extended invite to people running to take a few minutes and come in to talk about why they seek office and what they will bring to the job should they be elected.  Are we worrying about covering campaigns like everyone else?  Nope, not even for a second.  But, to know who you're voting for outside of a couple of sound bytes or quotes in the paper....that's a pretty good idea.
