ELGIN – Candidates running for Kane County coroner canvassed their qualifications – from running a biohazard recovery business to working in law enforcement – during a forum Thursday in Elgin.

Tao Martinez and Rob Russell answered questions about the qualifications they think best fit the coroner position, the process for investigating a death and whether they would change hospice death procedures.

Aside from the coroner’s race, the forum at the Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin included candidates in the County Board chairman race, along with the circuit clerk, county recorder and several County Board races.
