At The Bradenton Times, our mission is simple: to help you vote for the best interest of our community. We don’t rely on campaign talking points. Our staff attends government meetings and conducts independent research to bring you the facts.
When we find a candidate who stands above the rest, we endorse them. When the choice is less clear, we provide an objective analysis so you can decide for yourself. Don’t fall for candidates who rely on mass-mailed flyers and empty sound bites—especially those who refuse to face the public in debates. Democracy requires work; please take the time to get informed.
All registered voters can participate in the general election. Please vote!
