The Ville Platte Gazette will publish announcements for candidates in the November 3 primary election 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.
Political announcements for the November 3 election must be submitted to the Gazette by October 5.
The announcements are biographical only and 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 publication date depends on space available.
A photo of the candidate is used if provided.
Email delivery of the statement and photo is preferred. Include a phone number. Statements and jpg photos should be e-mailed to editor@evangelinetoday.com.
Local races on the ballot are District Court Judges, District Attorney, Ville Platte City Court Judge, Ville Platte City Marshal, Justices of the Peace, Constables, Pine Prairie Municipal, Basile Council District 2, and School Board Ward 2.
