We are all aware
that more recent discussions about American democracy have revealed extre
mely polarized views\, and far more attention is being paid to candidates
that are running for elected seats in offices.
\n
\nWhile this i
s especially true for career politicians that run for federal and high-lev
el state offices\, like Governor\, it is also true for less prominent but
nonetheless critical state and local offices\, like school board member\,
city council member\, higher education Regent\, etc.
\n
\nIn thi
s panel\, we will explore what motivates regular citizens to put their hat
in the ring for elections&mdash\;especially with many of these positions
requiring so much time and no pay. Joining us are three School of Public A
ffairs faculty members\, with no prior political experience\, who ran for
local positions over the last year. In addition\, they will be joined by o
ther panelists familiar with this electoral environment.
