Dear Ms. Staats,
For your consideration:
https://www.njspotlightnews.org/2018/07/...
https://pub.njleg.gov/bills/2018/S2000/1...
"This bill requires that a petition of nomination of a candidate for any State, county, school, or municipal elective public office must include a functioning e-mail address for the candidate. This addition to the nominating petitions of such candidates would enhance the voters’ access to those candidates, particularly first-time candidates, and allow voters and organizations to contact candidates’ campaign."
Yours sincerely,
Charlie Kratovil
Thank you for this, I will get back to you shortly.

Dear Ms. Staats,
