About this Article

Creating jobs and addressing budget woes are priorities for candidates running for the 31st state Senate seat covering most of northern and parts of central Lake County. Democrat Melinda Willen Bush and Republican Joe Neal each cite needed reforms but differ on whether to end the state's increased taxes on individuals and companies or let them run their course. They are running to replace Republican state Sen. Suzi Schmidt, who last November decided not to run for re-election because of family issues.
