Why Run for Office?
Because democracy only works when everyday people step forward. Running for office is a way to protect our freedoms, strengthen our communities, and make sure government reflects the real needs of the people it serves. When we show up, listen, and lead with integrity, we can build a future that works for everyone—not just the powerful few. Several Federal, State and local candidates are up for re-election, all of which have both indirect and direct effects on our lives! Another type of public office that offers the opportunity to affect our County and local communities are local Committees, where members are appointed rather than elected.
