This is a lie. Running for office is fucking hard. One of the hardest things I’ve done in my life.
The hardest part is that you have a numerical value of the number of people who don’t like you in your community. It took me years to recover.
But it’s worth it & we better off if more people did it.

Running for local office is easier than you may think - many local elections often only have one person running, and in 2022 there was an East Bay community college board election where nobody ran. And there are organizations such as @runforsomething.net that can help out!

I’ve spent a career studying how cities work, so I ran for city council. Folks have asked me to run for school board, but I know nothing about education, so I’ve always declined.
