          4. Political


          Place your political ad on The Garza Post for as low as $12.50 a week. That's 50% off our regular rate for a block ad (second block) on a section page. All home page and section page ads are available at the same 50% discount off standard rates (see above). We realize that campaigns are expensive and we hope this price reduction will be of benefit to you.

          We will design your ad and post it online. All we need from you is the information for the ad, a photo if you want, and we’ll take it from there. If you have a web site or a Facebook page, we can include a link in your ad. All of this is included in your cost. (As with any political advertising, payment is required in advance.)

          Whether or not you advertise with us, we'd like to inform our readers that you are a candidate. So please send us your announcement for candidacy (500 words or less) along with a photo if you have one. We will post the story on garzapost.com at no cost to you.

          Email your announcement and/or advertising information to info@garzapost.com or mail to: The Garza Post, P. O. Box 946, Post, TX 79356. If you have questions, please email us and we’ll get in touch with you. We at The Garza Post wish you the best in your campaign.
