"St. Louis on the Air" host Don Marsh is preparing to interview the candidates who are running for St. Louis County executive, in the contested races in the Democratic and Republican primaries, and we invite you to share questions you would like Marsh ask the them.

Incumbent Charlie Dooley of Northwoods will face County Councilman Steve Stenger of Affton in the Democratic primary election. House Budget Chairman Rick Stream of Kirkwood and Green Park Alderman Tony Pousosa are running in the Republican primary. 

Dooley and Stenger are scheduled to be on the program, in back-to-back interviews, from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, July 23. Pousosa and Stream are scheduled to be interviewed, also from noon to 1 p.m. July 29.
