Rules for candidate profiles/articles/comments

We encourage all candidates who serve at least a portion of the 6th ward of Chicago to send us information for your candidacy.

Here are things we are looking for:

• Phone number:
• Slogan/Tagline (if you have one; example: "Yes We Can")
• Website: (Please make sure the link works)
• E-mail address (we can type it such that spam robots won't automatically pick that up)
• "Traditional" contact info, such as phone number and mailing address
• Other contact info (optional). This may include links to Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, fax number, etc.
• Your top 3 issues:
• Employment (past & present):
• Community affiliations (past & present; includes church/religious):
• Politcal affiliations:
• Endorsements:
• General Comments (they must be positive, about you and/or the community; NO attacks on your opponent!):
• Other candidates (just to make sure each candidate has a chance to present themselves to the public)

We will not post unsubstantiated allegations (i.e. quotes/links to professional news organizations are legitimate; rumors are not), and they are not appropriate for your candidate profile.

It's your responsibility to sending us accurate information in an organized & timely fashion. This is a voluntary blog, so we don't have the time for formatting, and it would help our readers if you can give us info ahead of time, so they can get an accurate picture of you as a candidate.

Please do not expect us to try to go through your campaign material for you (though you are free to quote from it).

Thank you for contributing to the political process!
