Election 2022: Fair Haven Candidates’ Round-Up & Factoids
** Editor’s note: All candidates were provided with the same questionnaire and at the same time. The responses are being published in the order in which they were received. At R-FH Retro, we strive for complete balance in coverage. All candidates were also offered the option of paid advertising in the form of linked photo campaign ads on this hyperlocal news website. Every year, both parties have accepted. This year, the Republicans declined. That is the only reason for the absence of Republican campaign ads. Republican candidates, after multiple efforts asking for a response to the questionnaire, did not respond. We do not endorse, but cite that a lack of response in this forum, as we know it, is a detriment to the public served. **
The notion in mind that an informed voter is a better voter, here are some facts that may enlighten and inspire whether or not you have cast your vote yet.
