Notice for political campaign announcements

Planning to run for election this fall?

The deadline for announcements in the Morgan City Review is Aug. 31. Announcements received after Aug. 31 will be considered advertising.

The qualifying period for candidates is Aug. 8-10.

The Oct/ 14 election spans candidates from governor to the parish level.

The Morgan City Review will publish candidate announcements at no charge when accompanied by a payment for advertising: $150 for parish wide offices; $200 for district wide offices; and $300 for statewide offices. The payment must be made in advance of publication of the announcement.

The advertisement can be run any time before the election.

Announcements are biographical only and limited to 400 words. They will contain no campaign promises, pledges or references to other candidates.

That material should be included in paid political advertising.

The announcements are used on a first come basis and publication date depends on space available. Submissions are subject to editing.

A photo of the candidate is used if provided. E-mail delivery of the statement and photo is preferred. Include a phone number.

Statements and jpg photos should be emailed to bdecker@daily-review.com.
