The May 7th primary election for South Bend mayor, common council, and city clerk is Tuesday.

South Bend Voice believes that it is vitally important for voters to be informed before they head to the ballot box. While we do not endorse individual candidates, we provide equal opportunity for all candidates on the ballot to share their views with the public through candidate statements.

Below, we have links to each statement that we have published for the thirteen candidates who responded to our request. For a complete list of who will appear on the ballot in each council district, click here.

If you are unsure which district you live in, we encourage readers to visit Vote411.org to see who is on the ballot at your particular precinct and read candidate responses to questions from the League of Women Voters.
