Anyone thinking of running for office next year?
It's time to be deciding for all levels of office being picked next November. Are you ready to throw in your hat?

5. No Way
Nobody who has ever had any fun in their life
can run for office anymore --
unless they are a born-again fundie christian
running as a Republican
Then anything goes.

8. Hey, I'll barely be 18 next year
And I'm still shooting for the state house. It's small, but it'll be a big enough step -- especially considering how tough North Dakota is to Democrats.

6. huh?
What do you mean, all three at once?

There are 4 towns listed, but I did not live in all of them at the same time.

I lived in ND for 25 years. We moved rather often.

Township Clerk in suburban Cincinnati. It's a lot of fun, but a lot of work.

12. More Accurate Title
would be Treasurer -- the Clerk is the township's financial officer.

13. Kent County, MI, elects a clerk, treasurer...
...prosecutor, sheriff, and drain commisioner. All of these positions are partisan, too. And Republicans hold all of them. x(
