...no country can be well governed unless its citizens as a body keep religiously before their minds that they are the guardians of the law and that the law officers are only the machinery for its execution, nothing more
— Mark Twain in The Gilded Age

PVrrg Policy on Neutrality during Elections

The primary purpose of PVrrg is to provide PVE residents and members of our PVE City Government with factual information on local issues.

PVrrg’s policy during any election is to remain neutral or impartial. As an organization, PVrrg will not endorse or advocate for any candidates. However, individual members of PVrrg are free to exercise their First Amendment right to support any candidate as individuals.

During elections for City Council or the PVHA Board, PVrrg assembles information by

  • Obtaining information directly from the candidates for our website

  • Conducting public candidate forums during election campaigns and posting videos of those forums on our website

To ensure no one has an advantage, all communications between PVrrg and the candidates will be the same. All submissions collected from the candidates will be kept confidential until the publication date. Their unedited and complete submissions (adhering to word count limitations) will be posted on the website at the same time without exception.
