Local Candidates' Update
** Correction added re:- Newport House, Dist. 75. Oops! I misspelled the name (sorry, I was using a lot of source materials). The correct name is Peter F. Martin. I'm also thinking of adding political candidate web sites to my blog when I have the time & impetus. So please feel free to send. I'm also thinking of doing candidate interviews. So many things to do & so little time!
I'll post candidate filings as I find them out. Anyone wishing to send me a candidate announcement or the name of a filer is most welcome to & I will post (Newport, Middletown, Tiverton, Little Compton). Click here for the Sec'y of St. website on candidates. Thanks to Sec'y of St.'s Communication Officer, Chris Barnett.
Thanks to John McDaid of Hard Deadlines for making me aware that the Sec'y of St. has a website on this!

Candidates for federal office must file their Declarations of Candidacy with the Secretary of State's Elections Division, 148 West River St., Providence. As Eileen points out, candidates for state or local office must file their declarations with the board of canvassers in the city or town that is their legal residence.
You can find the necessary forms and all the key dates leading up to Rhode Island’s primary and general election the Secretary of State's website.
As Eileen notes, I have indeed thrown my aging "Dean for America" hat into the ring for the 75th district. To mark the occasion, I've started up an election blog called The Spirit of 75 at kalinowski75.blogspot.com. Just one post so far, but I'll be adding more soon discussing the election process, the issues, and anything else I can think of. See you on the intertubes!
