Read The Briefing →Think About Running
Most of the offices that affect your daily life — school board, city council, county commissioner, state legislature — run unopposed or barely contested. You do not have to run for Senate to make a difference. Local offices shape zoning, policing, schools, and taxes. Most people who run for local office have never run before.
