FOIA Request to Cambria County Election Department Regarding Upcoming Election Candidates on February 5, 2025.
On February 5, 2025, we at the Cambria Times submitted a request to the Cambria County Election Department under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law. The request was for comprehensive information about all candidates running in the upcoming election.
We asked for detailed candidate information including their first, middle and last names. We also requested data about the office each candidate is running for and its jurisdiction. Additionally, we sought details about each candidate’s party affiliation.
To further our coverage of this important civic event, we also requested contact information for each candidate. This includes their address, phone number and email address.
As a media organization committed to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, access to public records is essential for us at Cambria Times. This allows us to fulfill our professional responsibilities which include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as a media professional. As always, we stand ready to answer any questions regarding our request or our mission at Cambria Times.
