Managing Editor of Marlin Democrat, Alex Montoya, is excited to announce the return of “Feedback Fridays” after a two week break. “Feedback Fridays” began shortly after Montoya’s appointment as Managing Editor in the Fall of 2025, an open invitation for the Marlin community to stop by for office hours from 9 a.m. - noon.
