Okay, two things on #NationalRunForOfficeDay:

It’s January!
If you live in a town in Massachusetts, there’s a VERY good chance you have a spring election!
Go check out your town clerk’s webpage and find out. There are all KINDS of positions one can run for in a town!
Read up on these positions! Call Town Hall and ask for info!
It is absolutely possible to set policy and regulation in your town on a host of issues by running for a local position. Local offices make a big difference!
(I mean, I have a soft spot for running for school committees, or course, but library boards, and boards of health, and parks, and the light commission, and so forth all need good people!)

Policies are better for all people when our governmental bodies look more like our communities.

Let’s face it, #RepresentationMatters, which is why we need more BIPOC folks (esp. women) in office. 1/3
