Category Archives: Election ’07

We’re slowly adding features to the Election ’07 site. We’ve actually started using the blog this morning, asking what should be the most important question about the race:

Just what are the issues?

Yesterday we learned that William Bell and Ray Brooks will also be participating in our online forum, joining those that we announced yesterday.

Finally, later this morning we’ll also be adding an Election ’07 calendar to the site’s sidebar that will list upcoming candidate events. We only have two to start the list, so if you’re a candidate you may just want to send your schedule in to us so we can share it with everybody else.

NOTE: Hear their answers to your questions on our Election ’07 site!

We wanted to let you know what was going on with our proposed interviews with the mayoral candidates. We have currently received commitments from Valerie Abbott, Patrick Cooper and Carole Smitherman to participate in our podcast interviews. We have also been contacted by representatives from Mayor Kincaid’s campaign, though we have not been able to secure a commitment from him as of yet. It is our intention to begin posting their answers to your questions on our election site this coming Friday, September 14. We will have answers being posted by Monday, September 17.

If you’d like your candidate to participate, you may want to contact them and encourage them to do so.

As we mentioned earlier this morning, we figured that you’d want to know what we were going to do with all of your questions that were submitted. NOTE: Thanks for submitting them to us by the way.

UPDATE: Hear their answers to your questions NOW on our Election ’07 site!

All of the candidates have been invited by mail, email or via hand delivered letters to participate in our online forum series as part of our Election 2007 coverage. The candidates have been asked to allow us to record their answers to those questions you submitted to our site. The answers will be posted during the week of September 10 – 14 allowing you to hear in their own words. The candidates will not know the answers that the others have given, keeping them focused on the issues. We will post one answer a day, with the last day posting both the last question and a question that has been asked specifically of them.

At this time, we have received commitments from two candidates. If you have not confirmed, or if you have any questions, please contact our managing editor, André Natta, either by phone or email as listed on our contact page.
