I would honestly love to... but I’m only in my early 20s right now and don’t have the funds or connections to devote to a campaign, nor do I have the option to just drop everything and go for it. Perhaps some time in the near future once things stabilize I’ll make a run for office.
Look around. Look for the right opportunity. And be aggressive and tenacious.
I remember many years ago, I was a high school student in Dearborn MI. I was interviewed for a scholarship. Not a big one, pretty much an honorary one.
I met with a guy who was a graduate of U of M. I said something that made him think I was interested in politics. He asked if I was interested in Dearborn politics. I told him I was. He asked me what I thought.
At that time, Dearborn was governed by a mayor who was a 45 year incumbent. You can still find a colorful description of his reign on the internet. His name was Orville Hubbard.
He was no one who could be beat. His claim to fame was that he kept the “City clean,” meaning, in code, that he kept it white—not thru the most honorable means, either.
I told this guy that I thought there was room for improvement.
It turned out that the guy was one of our local perennial candidates. He’d run a couple of times against the mayor and lost.
Later, he ran for city council and won. They said that he won because his name had appeared on the ballot so many times that everyone knew who he was.
Just something to keep in mind. The system is not unbeatable. And God knows we need help.
BTW, I think Hubbard was about your age when he first ran for office.
