The Isanti County News allows each candidate running for a local office one free filing statement announcing their candidacy.
Candidates whose filing period closed Aug. 16 must submit their filing statements by 4:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 26, for final publication in the Aug. 31 edition. Free filing statements for these races will not be published after the Aug. 31 edition unless as a paid advertisement.
Filing statements are not solicited by this newspaper. Candidates may submit a filing statement if they so desire; however, if a filing statement is not received by a candidate, there will not be any attempts by the newspaper to contact the candidate about the free filing statement.
Filing statements and candidate photos can be emailed to editor.countynews@ecm-inc.com or dropped off at or mailed to 234 S. Main St., Cambridge, MN 55008.
The announcement must be 300 words or less and may include the candidate’s photo. The newspaper reserves the right to edit filing statements. A candidate’s website, Facebook page, Twitter page, email addresses and other social media sites cannot be included with their filing statements. A candidate is allowed to put in their phone number for further contact information.
