Candidate Statement/Link Instructions and Form

Instructions

Statement

Submit your statement electronically using the form via this page. You can either type directly into the web form or cut and paste the text from another file.

The web form will have a fixed maximum number of characters and will indicate the number of characters remaining. Character counts are 2,000 (including spaces) for citywide officer candidates and is 1,000 (including spaces) for Board of Directors candidates. Please note: Those numbers are character counts — not word counts.

Statements will be displayed in the same type font and size. The web form will not accept bold, italic, or underlined type. No logos, unicode, emojis, graphics, or dingbats allowed. Bullet points and dashes are acceptable — see box below for how to format text for these special characters.

If you want to use a • (bullet point), use an * (asterisk)

If you want to use a — (long dash), use – – (two hyphens without a space)

Please proof your statement before submission. You cannot make changes once submitted, and UTLA staff is not allowed to correct errors in spelling or grammar.

Link(s)

Candidates may input social media links for Facebook, X/Twitter, and/or a campaign website.

Those who submit their links before the deadline will be posted as soon as they are received.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

Form

You're welcome to submit one piece of content at a time (e.g. statement now, links later), but you can only send in one per type total (e.g. no multiple versions, no replacements/updates, etc.).
