IS THERE A SITE WHERE THE PUBLIC CAN READ THE BIOGRAPHIES OF CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR POLITICAL OFFICE?
IF SO, WHERE MIGHT I FIND IT?
IF THERE ISN’T, WHY ISN’T THERE ONE?
Paul Crowe says
I agree, there should be one, but there isn’t. Anyone running for office should explain why they’re running and what they hope to accomplish, whether they’re running for the first time or running for reelection. Even those running unopposed should tell us why they want our vote again. A yard sign with their name on it doesn’t tell us anything.
A good example are the candidates for the North East school board. There are quite a few and most voters have no idea who they are or what they stand for. Schools have become a battleground of conflicting social issues and trends instead of a place for students to learn. Having a board focusing on actual education and supporting the views of parents should be a priority.
I’ll try to set something up. Now, if I can just buy some extra time.
