2. An original and nine copies of a recent photograph;
3. Nine copies of your completed Federal Income Tax returns for the preceding three years.

An original and nine copies of a current financial statement and financial history;

Applications received after the deadline will not be considered. It would be most helpful if you would organize these materials into nine sets so as to minimize the clerical burden on the Commission secretary. This will avoid the burden on her of having to collate the materials for each applicant.
If you have applied to this Commission before, please note that you must submit a new application with accompanying documents. Previous applications will not be reconsidered.
As you know, all proceedings of the Commission are open to the public except for deliberations. Accordingly, you should not expect your application and/or other information submitted to be kept confidential.
While we do not advise you to mount a far-reaching or voluminous campaign for the position you are seeking, we encourage you to have letters of recommendation sent to the Commissioners. We do not recommend that you personally contact Commissioners while your application is pending.
All materials which you submit or which are submitted on your behalf will be forwarded to the Governor if you are nominated.
We look forward to receiving your application.
