The May 7th primary election for South Bend mayor, common council, and city clerk is fast approaching.
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 will provide equal opportunity for all candidates on the ballot to share their views with the public through candidate statements that we will publish throughout the month of April and into early May.
In the meantime, though, here is a complete list of the candidates who will appear on the ballot in the city of South Bend along with links to their campaign website or social media page (if they have one)
