FINDING GOOD INFORMATION ABOUT CANDIDATES RUNNING THE 2014 ELECTION
Monroe County Courthouse and Peace Monument |
Thus, I decided to put into one place the sources I have identified that provide information about the candidates for the various offices on the 2014 ballot. If you have found other reliable sites for good information about the 2014 candidates and election, please share them with us below in the comments section.
The best all round site that I have found is the Herald Times website. Their staff have developed a section of their website called 2014 Election, which I believe does not have a pay-wall. They also have an ongoing blog, GovTracker, which is free and covers all things government relevant to Monroe Countians.
In Monroe County, the community public access television service operates out of the Monroe County Public Library. They are called CATS and they are kind of a Monroe County version of CSPAN! Several candidate forums have been recorded and posted on their website. Plus, they gave every candidate, from US Congress 9th District to Township Board the opportunity to be videotaped giving their 3-5 statement and posted on their website in a section called Candidates On Demand.
The Monroe County Democratic Party has a website where information is posted including access to the candidate guide. (It doesn't include Township offices.) This doesn't give you all the information you need, but it's better than the absence of a common website where a voter can find all the Republican candidates for local government and state offices.
