Learn the basics of running for local office at free workshop on May 3

Have you ever thought about running for local office? This October, Juneau voters will elect several Assembly and School Board members—and one of them could be you.

CBJ and the Juneau League of Women Voters will host the eleventh annual “How to Run for Local Office” workshop on Saturday, May 3, from 8:45 to 11:30 a.m. in the CBJ Assembly Chambers (155 Heritage Way).

The workshop is designed to help educate and prepare people interested in running for local, municipal office or school board. Learn about what elected officials do, how to prepare for your run, requirements for candidacy, and the basics of a campaign. Each attendee will receive a full toolkit of information, including legal forms, references, and other resources for a local campaign.

This workshop is free. To register, visit juneaulwv.org/run. (Although drop-ins are welcome, registrations are highly encouraged to ensure materials are available for everyone.) Questions? Contact [email protected].

All CBJ 2025 Regular Municipal Election information will be available at juneau.org/clerk/elections as election season approaches.
