It’s a general election year, with important races at the national, state, and local level. As Ohioans know, such seasons bring with them a spate of political advertisements.

Advertisements for political issues and candidates are important in a democracy. For races without debates, they are one of the few ways that candidates can get their names and positions before voters. And, because our country’s political system has always been based on a bedrock of an informed electorate, that communication is extremely important.

With this in mind, we wanted to share the following about political advertisements.

GalionLive is fiercely non-political. The site is based on maintaining a neutrality of opinion on anyone running for public office. At the same time, it is an open site for people to share opinions and to express ideas consistent with our terms of service.

For that reason, GalionLive welcomes political advertisements from credible candidates and causes. Each will be afforded the same opportunity for placement and cost, all on a first come, first serve basis.

No politically-related advertisement on GalionLive should create an impression in the mind of any reader that this site endorses that candidate or position — because we will never do so.
