City Council Candidates Welcome to Post Statement on Guardian Blog


This year THE GUARDIAN is opening up the blog for candidates to post their statements should they choose to do so.  No endorsements will be made on this blog but we would like to offer candidates an opportunity to reach potential voters this year for local city council races.  You can send your press releases to me at my email address paul.alld@gmail.com and I will be happy to post them as a service to those running for office.

The part that is bothersome to THE GUARDIAN is low voter turnout in Caldwell.  There will probably be less than 2,000 votes in this election.  I will add candidate info to this post as they come in.  We can't have too much info about candidates and free space is even better.

The cutoff date for filing for office is September 9th, 20011 with the City Clerk in your city.  Here's a HERE'S LINK TO GET A VOTER REGISTRATION FORM  Voting is something taken for granted in this country and sadly a majority won't bother to exercise this right to weigh in on how our local governments are doing.  You can also vote early.  Generally, you have until the Friday before election day which should fall on the 8th of November this year.

  1. Thanks, Paul. Keep us posted, as us voters are paying attention.

  2. Only anti-government libertarian Tea party types would post here.

A public discourse on the issues of the day makes the world a better place.

We welcome comments but they will be moderated and edited if too long or do not have anything to do with the post.
Agree or disagree just do it without profanity or it won't get posted. Try to keep your comments to no more than 300 words. Too long and I will try to edit it down or simply delete the comment. The whole idea is to get people to read your comment. Don't use 10 words when one will do the job.

It's OK to have a difference of opinion but keep it civil. I have used the "delete" feature on myself at times.

The ANONYMOUS feature for comments seems to be the most user friendly. People have commented they have difficulty with the other methods of posting comments.
