13.1 Candidates may submit a photo along with their statement for the Pamphlet prior to the deadline. No statement was received will appear in the Voters Pamphlet. Candidate name, contact phone number, and position sought should be printed on a label on the back of the photo. The photo should be of head and shoulders with a plain background. No uniforms, insignias, or props are allowed which advocate or teach racial or religious intolerance.
Judicial robes are acceptable if the candidate is an incumbent judge.
Statements may not be reviewed by anyone outside of the Auditor s office staff prior to release to the general public. If the City of Tacoma has decided to utilize the Pierce County Local Voters Pamphlet, a City of Tacoma candidate will file with the City Clerk who will review for compliance with the Tacoma City Charter and then forward the statement to the Pierce County Auditor. The headings are not counted into the 200 word limit allowed the candidate. No other statements will be accepted. If a heading is omitted, the heading will appear in the printed statement with no response after it.
