Candidates Section Coming Nov. 3, 2016 - Share your information with the voters!

          The Town and Country newspaper is once again inviting candidates running in the general election on Tuesday, November 8, to email, fax or mail their information for publication in our Candidates Section to be published on November 3, 2016. There is no cost for this public service.

          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.

          The deadline for submitting candidate information is 9 a.m. Friday, October 28.

          Election-related Letters to the Editor from candidates only will be accepted up until 9 a.m. October 28 for publication in the November 3, 2016 edition.

          Letters to the Editor should be 350 words or less and all other letters to the editor rules will apply.
