A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Lawrence County Election Department on February 5, 2025. The request, made by us at the Lawrence Times, seeks comprehensive details about all candidates running in the upcoming spring election.
The information sought under Pennsylvania’s Right to Know Law includes each candidate’s full name, the office they are running for, and their party affiliation. Additionally, we have requested detailed contact information for each candidate including their address, phone number, and email address.
As a media organization dedicated to providing accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, access to public records is essential for our work. We aim to hold public institutions accountable and provide transparency to the public through our reporting.
We believe that this information will be invaluable in ensuring comprehensive coverage of the upcoming elections. This will allow voters to make informed decisions about their representatives and foster greater participation in our democratic process.
Should there be any questions or concerns regarding this request, we encourage the Lawrence County Election Department to reach out. As always, we remain committed to working collaboratively with government entities in our pursuit of truth and transparency.
