    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.

    Please contact us if you have any questions.
