So you want to run for office? Senate, perhaps? Governor? Maybe even President?

Let's start a little closer to home, first! Many people dream of a political career, but don't know where to start. Or perhaps you're tired of just complaining about local issues, and you're ready to be a decision-maker. Whatever your circumstances, if you have the drive and the desire to launch a political career, there's a way to do it successfully.

  1. Evaluate your goals. Are you passionate about a single issue, or type of issue? Or do you simply want to serve the public as an elected official? The answer to this question could determine how you proceed. For instance, if you're passionate about the school curriculum, don't run for a county council seat - they won't have any jurisdiction over school issues.

  2. If you're concerned about local issues, start with local office. Research your city, township, parish, or county governing structures. How are offices divided - at large, or in districts?

  3. Pinpoint your available options. Don't overlook available school board seats - in most areas, this can be some of the hardest-hitting political gamesmanship around!

  4. Once you've decided what office you want to run for, go to the meetings of that body. If there is public input, ask to be included. Pick an issue that you feel passionately about and that's relevant to the body's jurisdiction. While it would be inappropriate to campaign directly from a spot on the public input agenda, you can and should treat the opportunity as face-time with the voters. Take it seriously, look your best, deliver a personable and engaging speech, and spend some time before and after the meeting getting to know the board members and other attendees.
