Run for office

There are so many elected positions in Stevens County, including:

Sewer Districts,

Water Districts,

Fire Districts,

Parks and Rec boards,

School boards,

Mayors,

Town Councils

and County officials.

And don’t forget our State Legislature District 7.  

We need to have voices to represent us in all these positions – voices who will speak up for those who have often felt unheard. 

To search for offices that are up for election by year and county, click here.  Choose Stevens County, and the year in which you are interested.

The majority of these races are uncontested year after year (often there are positions with NOBODY running), and our democracy suffers because of it.  When incumbents have opponents it makes them talk about issues!  They are forced to explain why they voted or behaved the way they did, and we are all better informed as a result.

Running for office can seem like a daunting task, but the truth is that many have done it before.  

CANDIDATE TRAINING

There are a lot of excellent training programs for candidates and campaign staff.  We recommend starting with a FREE on-line program that you can do at your own pace.  It is run by the National Democratic Training Center, and there is no commitment. With courses that cover fundraising, field, communications, digital strategy, campaign leadership, budget and time management it is a one-stop place to learn how to run a winning campaign.

​Our State Party also has a training program;  click to find out more the about the RISE AND RUN program.
