CLEARLAKE – As the Nov. 4 election gets closer, voters have a big field of candidates to choose from when it comes to filling three open seats on the Clearlake City Council.

Estella Creel, Curt Giambruno, Joyce Overton, James Reed, Bill Shields and Judy Thein are seeking the seats in this year's election, as Lake County News has reported.

This week Lake County News is presenting unabridged questionnaires which the candidates filled out and returned. Candidate Estella Creel chose not to participate.

The first installment begins with Joyce Overton and Judy Thein. Both women are incumbents seeking reelection at the end of their first terms on the council.

In their questionnaires Overton and Thein lay out their ideas of leadership, council responsibility and the future of the city.
