As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Tri-City Sun have sent a request under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act § 15.231 et seq. to the Arenac County Election Division.
Our request is focused on obtaining a list of all candidates running in the upcoming election. We believe that public access to this information is essential for transparency and accountability in our democratic processes. The details we have requested include the candidates' full names, the offices they are running for, their jurisdiction, and their party affiliation.
In addition to these details, we have also requested contact information for each candidate. This includes their address, phone number, and email address.
As a media organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, we consider access to public records as crucial in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. This includes holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
We believe that as media professionals disseminating information to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver for this request. We will continue to keep you updated on this matter as more information becomes available.
