The Town and Country newspaper is inviting candidates running in the general election on Tuesday, November 4, 2014 to email, fax, or mail their information for publication in our Candidates Section to be published on October 20.

        In addition to a short biography that includes the candidate's name, party affiliation and position being sought, the candidate should list any prior government-related, elected positions held.

        We encourage candidates to include educational, business or other credentials and experiences that help to identify their qualifications for the position.

        Most importantly, the candidate should include a brief statement outlining why he or she is seeking the position, and present a position statement on a timely subject that affects our state, county or community.  Information submitted should be less than 350 words.  Submissions greater than 350 words may be edited.  A photo can also be included for publication.

        We are inviting those candidates running for office of a position representing constituents in our coverage area.  That area is Berks, Bucks, Lehigh and Montgomery counties and includes the boroughs of Bally, Bechtelsville, East Greenville, Green Lane, Pennsburg, Red Hill, Quakertown and Trumbauersville; the townships of Douglass (Montco), Hereford, Lower Frederick, Lower Salford, Marlborough, Milford, New Hanover, Upper Hanover, Upper Frederick, Upper Salford and Washington.

        The deadline for submitting candidate information is 9 a.m. Monday Oct. 27, 2014.

Election-related Letters to the Editor from non-candidates will be printed in editions prior to Oct. 30.  Only election-related Letters to the Editor from the candidates will be published in the Oct. 30 edition, and will be accepted up until 9 a.m. Oct. 27 for publication in that edition.

        Remember, letters should be 300 words or less and that all other Letters to the Editor rules will apply.
