A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the Boone County Clerk's office in Illinois on January 14, 2025. The request, submitted by Rockford Sun, a media organization dedicated to comprehensive and accurate news coverage of local governmental affairs, seeks details about the candidates running for the 2025 Consolidated Elections.
Specifically, we at Rockford Sun are requesting a list of candidates with their respective filled dates and the offices they are vying for. This information is vital for our ongoing reporting on local government matters and upcoming elections.
As a media organization committed to providing transparency and holding public institutions accountable, we believe that access to such public records is crucial in fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We have therefore requested that any associated fees be waived given our role as a media outlet disseminating this information to the public.
We eagerly await a response from the Boone County Clerk's office and will continue to strive towards ensuring transparency in local governance through diligent reporting.
