What is the order of the political entries?
• City officials go first, because it is the City of Wheaton’s parade. • Other officials are ranked based on the size of the contingency of their current office. Please realize the some offices are at about the same level. The order for those offices is arbitrary. Going 6th or 7th in the political lineup really does not make that much difference. The spectators don’t care if the 13th person should maybe be in front of the 12th. You will be more memorable if you help make the parade fun for them. This year we are doing something a little different. Instead of one large group of political entries, we are interspersing small groups of regular entries between small groups of political entries. This gives the audience more variety. Political entries are ordered by the office that they currently hold. City offices first, then federal, then state, then county and then normal candidates. Q13. Why do city candidates and office holders not have to pay an entrance fee? This is the City of Wheaton
