PUBLIC OFFICE HIGHLIGHT

The Township Board (Yes, it’s Paid!)
Looking for a way to serve that fits a busy schedule? Consider running for Township Board. Most boards only meet a few times a year. It is a paid role with training provided. 

​

Bonus: There are special rules for local candidates whose salary is under $5,000. You do not have to create a candidate committee and do financial reporting unless you receive more than $500.00 in contributions.

 

Triple Down: You can run for a party position (like Delegate) and a public office (like Township Board) at the same time with minimal paperwork and time commitment.

 

The Republican Supermajority is trying to remove local offices from the ballot because they say "it’s too hard to find people to run." HJR2 Alert: A new proposal would eliminate 460 elected county positions (like Treasurer & Coroner) and make them appointed. Let’s prove them wrong.

 

To file you will need to submit a CAN 2 form and a simple Statement of Economic Interest. Click the "Candidate Filing Forms" button to access them.
