As a service to the voters of Caseyville 12, I have reached out to the candidates running for office and asked them to sit down and talk about who they are, their background, values, and goals once elected. These interviews are not an endorsement of any candidate.

I spoke with Barry Vaughan this afternoon. He grew up as a farmer in Hamilton County, worked various blue collar jobs to pay for law school and was the youngest elected state's attorney in Illinois state history (until that record was beaten several years later). The work he's done as a prosecutor and judge is quite wide ranging. I hope you will enjoy this interview as much as I did.
