Candidate Announcement Policy

The Ville Platte Gazette will publish announcements for candidates in the 2022 elections at no charge when accompanied by payment for advertising.
A candidate’s commitment to run $250 of advertising must be paid in advance before an announcement is published; however, the advertising can run at any time during the campaign.
The announcements are biographical only and are limited to 400 words. They will contain no campaign promises, pledges, or references to other candidates. That material should be included in paid political advertising.
The announcements are used on a first-come basis, and the publication date depends on space available.
