Calling All Candidates: Blog on Plainfield Patch

Candidates headed out to local and county clerk’s offices Monday for the first day of filing for the March 18, 2014 primary. The filing period ends Dec. 2.

Patch is calling all candidates running in the March primary to blog on Patch. Whether you are running for a local, a township or a county office, blogging on Patch is a great way to reach out to voters.

Candidates can post press releases about events, biographical information and issues in the election on the blog. Existing content can be repurposed from websites, newsletters or other blogs.

Blogging is an easy, fun way to communicate, engage and inform. Best of all, your blog is a place to share everything and anything you'd like (so long as it plays by our Terms of Use).

Think of it as your little corner of the digital universe. You can dress it up however you'd like, and post whenever and however you want. And, because your content is important to us, every post is highlighted on the homepage, in our daily newsletter and promoted on social media.

Candidates or campaign managers can sign up for a blog on a Patch site then share the post on nearby sites which cover the districts they are running in.
