The three men seeking seats on the Lake County Commission spoke Wednesday about goals and hopes for the county, during a candidate forum at Dakota State University.

All three candidates have previous experience in public office. Corey Johnke is a current member of the commission. Charlie Johnson previously served 8 years as a commissioner, while Tim Walburg is a former District Representative and Lake County Sheriff.
