Par ty Affiliation Statement
\n
This is a Republican event. We a sk that candidates clearly state during their remarks whether or not they support Republican political philosophy.
\n
Although municipal candid ates are not required to declare party affiliation on the ballot\, politic al philosophy often reflects how an individual will govern if elected. If a candidate does not address this during their remarks\, the moderator wil l ask a single direct question regarding party alignment before the candid ate leaves the podium. We strongly encourage candidates to incorporate thi s information into their prepared remarks.
\n
Candidates who do not a lign with Republican philosophy are encouraged to participate in events ho sted by organizations that reflect their values.
\n
Additiona l Notes for Uncontested Races
\n
Candidates running unoppose d are asked to keep their remarks focused on their own campaign only. Prom oting another candidate during your time is not permitted\, as it creates an unfair advantage. Due to past issues\, this policy will be enforced con sistently to ensure fairness and transparency for all candidates.
\n
Media &\; Promotion
