Political, Government & Public Safety Bloggers Wanted: Share Your Voice on Patch!

From state troopers to volunteer firefighters, village managers to park district directors and local politicians, Patch is home to bloggers from a huge variety of backgrounds. Join us and connect with your community today!

Do you work or volunteer with a local government organization or village department? Have news you’d like to share (press releases, calendar items, photos) with your community? You’re in luck. 

At Patch, we offer a free blogging platform for you to post locally-relevant information, news and events -- all while connecting with our established audience of readers close to home. You can even repurpose already-existing content from your own website, newsletter or blog.

Maybe you work with the area library and want to promote news of an upcoming author reading, are a politician who wants to connect with local constituents or have photos from a recent park district event you’d like to share.

We’re calling all:
