Monarch Fire Board Candidate Q&A: Jane Cunningham & Cole McNary

With the April 2 election day drawing near, Patch wants to make sure voters are able to make informed choices about the two candidates vying for the open seat on the Monarch Fire Protection District’s board of directors by providing their answers to a questionnaire sent out earlier this month. 

Former State Senator Jane Cunningham and State Representative Cole McNary are vying for the spot on the three-member board left vacant by Kim Evans decision not to seek a second term.

Several other declared candidates removed their names from consideration.

Cunningham was redistricted out of the state legislature and she opted against running in a new district, while McNary ran unsuccessfully for State Treasurer.

Editor's Note: The candidates received an identical questionnaire via email and were each given the same amount of time to reply.  

• Jane Cunningham
• Cole McNary
