Submit a Letter to the Editor

Whether it’s your opinion about a political drama unfolding in the community, a concern about a city’s new ordinance, or a reaction to a recent decision that affects local life — this is the place to speak up.

Whatever you have an opinion on, this is your platform to be heard. If your letter is compelling enough or gains traction, it may even be featured on our social media pages or included in an article by our newsroom.

What Is a Letter to the Editor?

A Letter to the Editor is a short written opinion submitted by a member of the public, typically in response to a news story, public issue, or community topic. It’s your chance to weigh in, offer praise or criticism, or raise awareness about something that matters to you or your neighbors.
