2010 Political Chat

This year, as part of our coverage for area city and school district elections, the Denton Record-Chronicle will ask candidates to complete a personal financial disclosure form as a part of their candidate profile and submit it to us.

Copies of the form are available on the Texas Ethics Commission Web site. We ask that candidates download the form, fill it out, and submit a copy to us by e-mail, fax or mail.

While candidates in cities with fewer than 100,000 people are not required, under Chapter 145 of the Local Government Code, to complete the form with the Texas Ethics Commission, Denton candidates will likely be required to do so after the 2010 census. In addition, we aim to provide voters the kind of information that helps evaluate potential conflicts of interest.

The final deadline to submit completed forms to the Denton Record-Chronicle newsroom is 5 p.m. April 16.
