Want Change?
Run for Office
— Our Republican Party is the place to begin!



We're here to advise you on which office to consider and provide guidance and support on running your campaign.


Whether you're seeking a seat on the local school board or a term as U.S. Congress, running for office is a commitment.  Being successful requires careful attention to detail, making a schedule, and finding volunteers who believe in you ~ We're here to help you get started!
 
  1. Choose the office you want to run for.  While the idea of being President may be tempting, its always best to start on a local or state level.
  2. Check the qualifications for the office.  At a minimum, this usually means that you must be a registered voter in the geographical area in which you are running.
  3. We can help you file the required papers to get yourself on the ballot.

Tips on Running for Office:
______________________________________________________________________________________________________

  • Research the office you want to hold. 
  • Attend meetings of the office you want to hold will familiarize you with the duties.
  • Who will vote in the election? 
  • What will you do as an elected official? 
  • What legal obligations do you have to meet?  (Our local Board of Elections can help you with demographics and legal questions)
  • Take a personal inventory:  Do you have the time, family support, name recognition, fundraising ability, drive to win, and public speaking skills necessary to run a good campaign?
  • Are you already involved in your community?
  • What can you bring to the table?
  • Make a list of your fellow club members, family, friends, and colleagues you think will support you. 
  • Be realistic about how much time, money, or effort your friends  will be able to provide, given their work and family demands.
