Section 9.03 of the NeoShow City Council reads, the names of candidates for the City Council shall be printed on balance without party designation and all election campaigns shall be conducted on a nonpartisan basis. The sample ballot provided online by the Newton County Registrar shows that there will be no political parties on the ballot next Tuesday, which is typical for municipal elections. What is unusual is that Republican women of Newton County, spearheaded by Naomi Thomas Baker, the wife of state representative in Baker, are promoting six Republican candidates, campaigning as Republicans in municipal elections in NeoShow, Newton County, which are supposed to be nonpartisan, thus breaking the NeoShow City Charter. A handful of other candidates are running for both City Council and County Health Department seats without any political affiliation for next Tuesday's election. For KRPS, I'm Fred Fletcher-Fierro in Web City.
