re: #97 Belafon

Let me ask you a serious question on this: How much would I need to know to run for school board? If I were to pick one of those that I’m the best fit for, it would be School Board. But even then, I’m not up to speed on what the school board does? Should I wait and learn more first. There are elections coming up, and for me to sign up I would need to do so soon.

Something else to consider—which offices are partisan races vs. non-partisan. More chance of winning in a non-partisan election.

Example—our city council is a non-partisan election. The most recent election saw someone who was once the county chair of the Democratic party win—sadly, she played down (as in never mentioned the word Democrat) her party affiliation completely—but she did win.
