Investigate what you would need to do to get on the ballot for either city council or county board of supervisors.
1. What are the residency requirements?
2. Do you have to be registered to vote?
3. What is the minimum age requirement?
4. Do you have to gather and submit signatures of registered voters? How many? By when?
5. Find estimates of the average amount of money spent by winning candidates in past races. How would you raise or acquire that amount of money?
6. Do you have any actual interest in running for local government? Why or why not?
