Their answers (edited down to five or six minutes for clarity and brevity) are shared here, as well as links to their respective campaign websites or pages.

With longtime Chatham County Sheriff Mike Roberson departing office earlier this year — after his Democratic primary win and subsequent appointment to the Board of County Commissioners’ District 3 seat — a race to replace him has emerged. Steve Maynor has served in the sheriff’s office for two decades, including as chief deputy before taking over the sheriff title this summer. He ran unopposed in the Democratic primary and will face a Republican opponent who was similarly unopposed in March: Marcus Globuschutz, a longtime corrections officer with Randolph County and Siler City resident.
97.9 The Hill spoke with the candidates, asking these questions that are reflected in the recorded responses:
At this moment, what is inspiring you to run for office? What are the top three issues your campaign is built on? What are some examples of things you’re proud the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office has done in recent years? What are examples of areas or aspects of its operations where you believe more work is needed? What is your philosophy around the role of local law enforcement when we see impunity granted to federal officers and controversy around their actions? When voters see your name on the ballot, what do you want them to think of? Chatham County SheriffMarcus A. Globuschutz (R)
