Our Political Advertising Policy
for May 4, 2024 Elections

As a courtesy to all candidates running for public office, The Record will publish a photo and initial declaration of candidacy at no charge on our Facebook and webpage (www.canadianrecord.com).

All subsequent political announcements, including candidate endorsements, will be accepted for publication as advertising, and must be paid for in advance and accompanied by a simple political disclosure statement, as required by Texas Election Law (https://www.ethics.state.tx.us/data/resources/advertising/Gpol_adv.pdf).

The disclosure statement must include the words “political advertising,” and the full name of either the person who paid for the advertising; the political committee which authorized it; the candidate; or specific-purpose committee supporting the candidate, if authorized by the candidate.

Campaign announcements and advertising may be submitted to The Canadian Record, PO Box 898, Canadian, TX 79014, or by email to editor@canadianrecord.com, with an accompanying address and phone number. We will confirm receipt of all emails. If you receive no confirmation, please contact us at 806.323.6461 (leave message) or 806.570.3033.
