So, You Want to Run for Office? Or you are just thinking about it. Someday. Well, someday is now. Why? Even though it's an off year in California, if you want to make a difference in 2024, when the actual races are, you need to be thinking about it now.
This is because you need to be able to hit the ground running. You need to show you know the issues facing your district, whether it's a large office, like Assembly or Congress, or a smaller office, like a local school board or City Council race. Know that your opposition has thought about it, is garnering support and getting pledges for funding.
If you were paying attention in 2022, you know there are well organized forces who geared up early for school board races with the aim of building the "bench" for future elections. Yes, I am talking about the Republican Party and some non-partisan groups in alignment with much of the Republican platform or, in some cases, even more extreme.
We saw anti-vaxxers, anti maskers in the most recent races for small school boards, several in my county alone. Luckily they lost. But they will return. If you are a progressive Democrat or Independent, start doing your research. Now is the time.
