Campaign season is underway

The campaign season for the November election is off and running, with several local issues that will engage the interest of Sisters Country: The composition of the city council; a bond measure for the school district; and a referendum on medical marijuana facilities.

In addition, there is a county commission race, a statewide U.S. Senate race and a variety of statewide initiatives.

Letters to the Editor on any of these subjects are welcome.

The Nugget will run letters on a space-available basis, with local issues taking precedence. Some campaigns may seek to formally or informally coordinate a letter-writing campaign. We are leery of letters that sound the same and appear to regurgitate a script. Writers should speak as individuals, and approach a topic from an authentic point of view, not merely repeating talking points. Group letters or those representing an organization must have a representative or representatives as signatories.

If you want to comment on multiple issues, do it in one letter. Word count should be no longer than 300 words.

The page-two guest column space is available at The Nugget's discretion and must be reserved by contacting editor Jim Cornelius at 541-549-9941.

One letter or column per person or group will be accepted.

Speak your mind vigorously but civilly, and participate in shaping the future of the Sisters community.

Jim Cornelius, Editor
