Offer to post candidate information

The email below was sent to Linn County school board candidates who provided an email address on their affidavit of candidacy.  My posting of candidate provided information should not be construed as an endorsement of any candidate.  It should be viewed as news / information as this blog is hosted by a news organization.  -- Joel @ 1:10pm

Dear School Board Candidates:
 

Earlier this week, I began trying to call each of you, but that has proven very time consuming and some candidates have unpublished phone numbers.  The reason I was calling was to explain my offer to post the equivalent of an 8.5”x11” (font size = 12) on my blog http://cs.gazetteonline.com/blogs/updates_on_election_day/default.aspx in the interest of giving the voters access to some information on local school board candidates.

In the interest of fairness, I wanted to post all of the candidates’ information at the same time, e.g., all candidates seeking the Director at Large position in Alburnett.  Unfortunately, that attempt to be fair denies those candidates that are more responsive to my offer an opportunity to get their information published in a timely manner.

I am emailing this to those candidates who provided email addresses.  I will continue my efforts to contact the other candidates by phone in the hope that I will secure all candidate information no later than September 4th.

Thank you for becoming a school board candidate!

Please let me know if I can be of assistance.

Best regards,

 

Joel D Miller
