Running for Office
So, Should You Run For Office?
There are several reasons people run for local office. Some run because they are inspired by a desire to contribute to their communities.
Others are motivated by dissatisfaction with an incumbent, believing they could do a better job. Some are recruited by well-intended friends, neighbors or colleagues. Then there are those who seek office for a single burning issue.
Whatever the reason, potential candidates are advised to carefully appraise both themselves and the political climate they would enter.
