LAKEPORT – Six candidates are vying for three seats on the Lakeport City Council this November, and in the next few days you'll get a chance to read their respective visions for the city in their own words.

Ginger Ingersoll, Suzanne Lyons, Roy Parmentier, Bob Rumfelt, Marc Spillman and George Spurr are hoping Lakeport residents will choose them to fill the three open seats on the council.

Parmentier and Rumfelt are incumbents seeking reelection, while Mayor Buzz Bruns, whose seat also is up this year, is retiring from the council.

Lake County News asked each of the candidates to answer a questionnaire that looks at everything from Measure I monies to big projects like the proposed Cristallago development.

The questions were inspired by community members' suggestions and concerns, as well as notable council business matters over the last few years.

Over the next three days, we'll be publishing these questionnaires in their entirety in an effort to help voters become more acquainted with each candidate's ideas, experiences and strengths.

Beginning in alphabetical order, the first two questionnaires to be published will be those of Ingersoll and Lyons, the followed by Parmentier, Rumfelt, Spillman and Spurr.
