Local elections matter, and the newspaper remains one of the most trusted ways to reach voters. We invite all candidates to advertise their campaigns and share their message with readers across our community.

Advertising policies (fairness & transparency)

To ensure equal treatment for all candidates:

No discounts or credit may be extended to any candidate or campaign.

• Ads may be booked in advance without payment, but payment must be received before publication.
