East Hampton-Portland Patch Encourages Letters to the Editor During 2015 Campaign Season

With municipal elections looming, it is time for candidate supporters to write letters espousing the qualifications of their favored nominee.

Patch will accept letters to the editor on behalf of political candidates through Wednesday, Oct. 28.

Letters must be signed by the person writing them — no fake names allowed — and contain the writer’s address, phone and email address for verification (we will only publish the name and hometown).

Letters should be of a positive tone and state why a person is qualified for the office they seek, not why their opponent should not be elected.

Letters may be emailed to jaimie.cura@patch.com.
