Josh Crockett

McLean County Clerk Kathy Michael defended her record and addressed recent administrative errors while facing a challenge from Democrat Joshua Crockett at WGLT's candidate forum. Crockett pointed to budget overruns and tax bill mistakes as a call for new leadership, while the incumbent Republican argued her office has corrected course and remains financially sound.

Crockett said it's time for a fresh face in the office and he wants to do innovative things other county clerks do, such as employ universal polling places.
