CLEARLAKE – It's been a busy season for local races, with a packed field of candidates seeking office on the Clearlake City Council.

This year's candidates are Estella Creel, Curt Giambruno, Joyce Overton, James Reed, Bill Shields and Judy Thein.

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

Today features responses by Giambruno, the current mayor, along with the ideas and proposals from challengers Reed and Shields. Shields did not respond the questionnaire but instead submitted campaign literature which has been reproduced.
