As of Sunday there were 58 candidates with two pending for some reason. Only one office is uncontested.

To All Candidates—if you want your picture and bio in the Update, please email Update (TriangleUpdate@gmail.com) your picture and bio and what office you are running for. It would be nice to have all the pics and bios for each category before running any. Update has asked empower for permission to use their info but hasn’t heard yet.

According to the election committee empower is the source. Elizabeth Wright, co-chair of election committee, says after election committee assembles the flyer, Update can use their info. Flyer will be distributed 10 days before 28 May election. That is why Update wants photos and bios now.
