A strong democracy depends on engaged citizens and dedicated competent leaders willing to step forward and serve in public offices. No matter which public office--school board, village board, county board--our public institutions become stronger when interested candidates offer voters choices as to who will represent them. Whether driven by a passion to address a particular challenge in the community, a realization that you are just as capable (or more!) than the current officeholder, or desire to provide leadership to the community on a broad scale, you will be making a difference. Serving in public office provides the opportunity to use your skills, talents, and experience to be a creative force for positive change in your community. Who may be a candidate?
