Originally posted 1/2/12 – The April 10, 2012 election will be here before you know it, and we’d like to do our part to help you with Getting to Know the Candidates. We’ve created web pages for each of the City Council candidates that have pulled papers at this time (Regular Election, two 4-year seats open and Special Election, 1 seat with two years remaining). On these pages, the candidates have been offered the opportunity to post a head shot, a bio, their campaign material, and links to a campaign website or Facebook page if they have one. We also have a Candidate Q and A questionnaire that we’ve been sending out to candidates since 2002, and we’ve submitted that to the candidates for their consideration. We’ll add new candidates as they join the race, assuming they would like to participate as these five candidates have. We’ll also make the same offer to the Treasurer and City Clerk candidate(s).
Below, in alphabetical order by last name, are each of the Council candidates that have pulled papers and confirmed their intent to run at this time (1/2/12). Click on their name next to their picture, and it will take you to their page on our site. BTW, we will not be posting the links to the campaign sites/FB pages until Friday.
