A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the St. Clair County Clerk & Elections Division on February 5, 2025, by Metro East Sun, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The request seeks information about all candidates running in the upcoming election. Specifically, Metro East Sun has asked for each candidate's first, middle, and last names; the office they are running for; the jurisdiction of that office; and their party affiliation.
In addition to these details, Metro East Sun is also seeking contact information for each candidate. This includes their address, phone number, and email address.
As a media organization committed to holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public, Metro East Sun believes access to these public records is essential in fulfilling its professional responsibilities. In line with this role in disseminating information to the public, Metro East Sun has requested a fee waiver as a media professional.
Metro East Sun awaits a response from the St. Clair County Clerk & Elections Division regarding this request.
