Note to candidates filing in the 7–14 March window

Filing for statewide or legislative district office before 1700 on Monday, 14 March?

Whether you’re a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or another political persuasion, we’d like to hear from you by email.

Here’s what bloggers and mainstream media reporters like to find in your press packet:

1. Your official mug shot, as long as it’s not more than two years old.
2. Links to video clips.
3. Your email address and telephone number.
4. The URL of your campaign’s website (which should be fully built before you file).
5. Facebook and Twitter URLs.
6. Your platform. If your platform is missing, Flathead Memo assumes you are in 100 percent agreement with the platform of your political party, but are afraid to take a public position on any issue.

Remember, everything is on the record.

And, regardless of your party or proposals, thanks for standing for election.
