As previously reported in The Northern View on Sept. 1 political runners may submit a previously unpublished biography for publication in the paper. This may highlight any platform issues and pertinent information about the candidate in between 300 to 400 words, with a photograph.
Due to newspaper deadlines, printing dates, and distribution dates, The Northern View will be printing biographies as they are submitted by candidates according to weekly publication dates. The last day for any submissions to be accepted will be Oct. 5 at 12 p.m.
Biographies may be sent to: editor@thenorthernview.com
Only one submission per candidate will be accepted. Depending on number of candidate submissions, this process may be subject to change.
