If you think you might run for office – or might work for someone who is – our annual FREE Workshop on How to Run for Local Office provides you with everything you need to know about running for Mayor, Assembly or School Board, or serving on a CBJ Board or Commission. The 2023 Workshop is back to being in-person and registration is recommended. If you have questions, email [email protected]

At the workshop potential candidates, their campaign helpers, or others who may only be thinking about running in the future, learn all about what the jobs entail, deciding and preparing to run, how to get elected, and what happens if/when you win. Each attendee has access to a full ToolKit of information, including election requirements, the forms that have to be filed as well as many other resources for planning to make a run for the Assembly or School Board. Check back on this page for the 2023 Toolkit as we get closer to the Workshop date. In the meantime, check out the elections website for a peak of what was included in last year’s toolkit.

Please share this information with those who may be interested in running, or helping someone who is.
