Attention Wentzville Candidates:
The Wentzvillian is being read by voters all over the city, receiving over 400 hits per month and our numbers are increasing every day. This expanding community of citizens have a need to know where the candidates who are going to be representing them stand on important issues concerning the future of Wentzville. Issues such as public safety, growth, taxes, budget, parks, roads, and other infrastructure, These subjects are paramount to voters when going to the polls to elect you as their mayor or aldermen. We know that elected officials, staff, employees, and prospective candidates, along with hundreds of voters follow The Wentzvillian, so we are offering candidates the opportunity to state their platform here for Wentzvillians to see.
The Wentzville Chamber of Commerce has historically held a "Candidate's Night" each year, and are planning another this year. The problem with this forum; it's only one time—one evening. Historically the event has been sparsely attended and it could never reach the audience we have here every single day. The citizens who attend "Candidate Night" are concerned voters, and even though the audience may be small, attendees do talk to other concerned voters and so do The Wentzvillian readers. To be heard by Wentzville voters candidates need to be accessible to the most voters possible, as often as possible. The Wentzvillian offers candidates the opportunity to campaign to hundreds of interested and motivated voters.
The process is simple, just email (or comment here) your platform topics or comments you want voters to hear. We will post your statement and it will become a part of this blog to be seen 24 hours a day until the election April 3rd, 2012. The Wentzvillian is like having a "Candidates Night" every day and every night. To reach the Wentzvillian, you may either leave a comment here (below) or click the following link: thewentzvillian@aol.com to send an email. Every candidate's post or email will be posted as they come in. We also invite citizens to post comments or email us with questions for the candidates. Comments and emails should be signed. If you wish to have your name omitted from the posting we can oblige but it must be available (comments may be edited for objectionable material.)
The citizens of Wentzville look forward to read what our candidates have to say and how they can make Wentzville a better place to live, work, and play.
I am a senior citizen and voter and live here in Wentzville all of my life and live in Ward 2. I don't get out much and will not be able to attend the candidates night I want to but I can't. My son is helping me write this because I don't know much about computers. Please tell the people wanting to get elected to put what they are doing to help with taxes on here I am on a fixed income and every penny helps. I like reading the Wentzvillian since the Union and the Wentzville Journal left town I don't know what is happening in my city no more. Thank God for the Wentzvillian bless you.
