Why 5? Who states 5 things are necessary to get competent local officials elected? I vote which along with jury and military service is all that is expected of a citizen. We are overwhelmed with illegal aliens and their corrupt supporters. The alien comes to plunder, and you know it.
I expect more, and I do more. Self government requires you be involved in government, that’s how it works. And the alien stuff has very little to do with local government, in this context it is a deflection.
Go find a non-idiot local candidate and provide material support in money and/or time.
