I am going to try a feature so others can state why they would like to vote for a particular candidate. I will then post the statements as part of a series of posts. Here are the rules:
- Only candidates for the West Contra Costa Unified School District Board of Education (WCCUSD BOE) or Contra Costa County Board of Education (CCC BOE) Area 1
- Letter-to-the-editor length of 200 words or less as measured by this site:Â https://wordcounter.net/
- Single author who must be able to vote for the candidate
- The author includes their name, city or other locality, and a description of themselves of 8Â words or less
- Please no relatives or campaign members (People will be able to tell if the statement is too contrived.)
- Talk about your candidate not the other candidates
- No obscenity or libel
- No new statement published for a particular candidate until the other candidates for the race have statements submitted for that round
- The title of the post will simply fit this formula: “Why I’m Voting for X” where X is the candidate name (I’ll add the position as the first line.)
E-mail statements with author and candidate info to charley.cowens+statements@gmail.com
