Calling All Candidates: We Need Your Info

Use this form to load information about August and November political campaigns on Patch.

You may have already seen that Patch has launched a Voting Guide for the August and November 2012 Election. There, you can find the best of our reporting on the candidates and the ballot issues coming your way in the primary and general election. A key piece of information we're adding to the guide is all about the campaigns themselves. Links to their websites, background about the candidates, where they went to school, when they were elected, military service, etc. If you're working for a campaign, make sure someone fills this out on your candidate's behalf. Once we receive the information, a Patch Editor will follow up to make sure about accuracy. No race is too big or too small. Add your campaign's material today!
