Candidates in the Classroom Interviews
Our Candidates in the Classroom series offers journalism students from Wheaton-Warrenville High School and Wheaton North High School the opportunity to interview candidates in a few local races. The goals of the program are to provide an authentic journalism experience for students and the opportunity for students to learn more about local government.
Videos for the 2025 Consolidated Elections will be posted as they are completed. Please check back.
You can click a candidate's name with a link to see the video they submitted. You can also click on any links under the Candidates in the Classroom and Forum columns to see more video.
