I couldn’t keep up with all the games they have to play.”
A member of our Republican Women’s Group ran for a local school board position, was one of three finalists after the primary and lost the run-off by one vote. First attempt at elected office. Spoke at our last meeting for almost two hours about the lack of information available to new people running for office until after they have completed a task - like ordering 500 signs which had two words out of order (turns out someone on the current board who was quietly supporting someone else had given her the incorrect information via email), how she learned the hard way to be wary of everyone asking any questions about her platform, etc.
Some of it was just unbelievable. Had she had a lot of money she could have hired someone to run her campaign for her but she is a mom with 5 kids and her husband lost his job right after she announced. I would suspect that she will run again but is certainly a lot wiser.
I think it takes a lot of guts and a certain personality type to even want to run for office.
I have neither of those—LOL!
