Reseña del editor:

The American Government, including the national, state; and local levels, has more than 400,000 elected and appointed public officials according to a New York Times estimate. That number, more than the number of people who work for most major companies, is a tell-tale sign of just how important the political system is in this country. To become part of it, however, and to realize your dream of running and being elected to local office, you need to know exactly what will be expected of you, what is going to come up during the campaign, and how much time and energy the process might take out of your life.

This book is written to guide every potential new politician down the path of filing, gathering support, and running for local office, whether you are a lawman, judge, list politician, or concerned parent. You will start by reading a complete list of everything you need to know about the process of running for office, from the rules that govern your conduct to the timeline you can expect to start living. You will learn how to organize you resources and start hiring campaign staff. You will learn how to start creating a database of donors and individuals who can be called or contacted when drumming up support. You will be walked through the process of dredging up your own past and disclosing everything you tan about yourself to offset die potential for negative campaigning by your opponent.

Successful local politicians and Campaign staff have been interviewed for this book and have provided detailed information about what you can expect when you start the process of running for office, from the door-to-door walking to the campaign literature and signs that must be created. From start to finish, you will learn everything you need to effectively run and win your campaign for local office with this book.
