Your Guide to Local Elections
Official Election Coverage by The Sun Post
Local elections have a direct impact on everyday life. The officials elected this August will help shape decisions involving public safety, roads, housing, taxes, economic development, parks, infrastructure, and the future growth of our communities.
To help voters make informed decisions, The Sun Post is launching The Sun Post Decides 2026, a nonpartisan election series dedicated to introducing every candidate, examining their priorities, and providing readers with factual, balanced information before Election Day.
Our commitment is simple: inform voters—not influence them.

Our Editorial Commitment
The Sun Post does not endorse candidates as part of this election coverage.
Every qualified candidate will receive the same opportunity to participate and answer the same questions under identical editorial standards.
If a candidate chooses not to respond before the publication deadline, readers will be informed that the opportunity was offered equally to all candidates.
Five Questions from The Sun Post
1. Why are you running for office, and why should voters trust you with this responsibility?
2. What are the three biggest challenges facing our city today, and how would you address them?
3. How do you plan to improve transparency, accountability, and public trust in local government?
4. As our community continues to grow, how would you balance economic development with infrastructure, public safety, and quality of life?
