Early voting begins next week for School Board and City Council elections.

Normally held in May, these local elections were postponed to the General Election Day on November 3, 2020 to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

In order to assist voters in making their selections, Freestone County Times has sent out written questions to all the local candidates, and will publish their answers in a series of articles during the month of October

  (There will be no candidate forums this year, due to COVID-19 concerns.)

Elections are being held this year for Fairfield ISD, Wortham ISD, City of Fairfield, City of Streetman, and City of Teague.

  If you are a candidate, and have not received your questions, please contact our office at 903-389-6397.

Written questions were sent by U.S. mail and, where available, via email.

Candidates’ answers may be delivered to our office at 401 E. Commerce in Fairfield, or via email to news@freestonecountytimes.com

Stay tuned for more on the upcoming elections.
