A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Cameron County Election Department on February 5, 2025. The request was made by Keystone Today, a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
The request asked for detailed information about all candidates running in the upcoming election under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law, 65 §66.1 et seq. The requested information includes the first, middle, and last names of each candidate, the office they are running for, their jurisdiction of office, and their party affiliation.
In addition to these details, Keystone Today also requested contact information for each candidate. This includes their address, phone number, and email address.
As members of the media, we at Keystone Today believe that access to public records is essential in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. These responsibilities include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Given our role in disseminating information, we have also requested a fee waiver as a media professional.
We will continue to work diligently in gathering and reporting news that is relevant and important to our readership. We believe that this FOIA request is a crucial step towards ensuring transparency in our local government elections.
