Candidate Bios Begin Today, Forums Begin This Week

Today Oswego Patch begins posting candidate biographies for those asking for your vote Tuesday, April 5. We'll run a few each day through the end of this week. Read them over closely to find out which candidate most closely fits with you and your family's ideals. 

Once every profile has been posted, we'll combine candidates from each race on one page for easy reference between now and election day. We'll also be starting an election blog with regular updates on the comings and goings of the candidates. 

Finally, we'll be asking the candidates to shoot a two-minute video for the site explaining to voters why they deserve your vote. As you head into the voting booth it's your job to be informed. It's our job to inform you.
