Candidate Profile

It is highly desirable to have a profile for each candidate on our web site. It can be a source of information for Returning Officers, reporters, cable TV companies offering free time, organizers of All Candidate Meetings, and voters who want to know something about our candidate in their riding. The default should be the contact information. This will save several calls to the Party during the election.

Content

This should be about one page, 3-4 paragraphs, aimed at attracting votes.

• Picture - head shot or selfie. (Choose a quiet background, not distracting or busy.)
• Bio - Age, occupation, education, family, volunteer activity. If you live in the riding, how long.
• Why you are a candidate for the Libertarian Party.
• One or two key issues that are important to you.
• Contact Information - Phone number and email ID. Facebook Page and/or personal web site
