Our local boards need your voice!

Are you feeling helpless in our current political environment?  There is a way to feel more empowered and make a real impact in your community.

Step Up, and – Run for Local Office!

Are you ready to make a real impact in your community? Douglas County needs strong leaders who are committed to fairness, opportunity, and a government that works for everyone. Now is the time to step up and run for local office!

Local positions, including metro district boards, school boards, city councils, and other municipal roles, play a crucial role in shaping policies that affect education, healthcare, infrastructure, and economic opportunities. Many of these elections are decided by a small number of votes, making every candidate – and every voter – incredibly important.

These part-time roles allow you to have a direct influence on the decisions that shape your community’s future. Whether you’re passionate about improving schools, expanding public services, or advocating for smart growth, your voice matters.

 Why run for office?

• Make a tangible difference in your community

• Help shape policies that reflect your values

• Represent your neighbors and advocate for their needs

• Bring fresh ideas and energy to local government 

We’re here to help! If you’re interested in running but don’t know where to start, we can provide the resources, guidance, and support you need to launch a successful campaign.

Take the first step today! Contact us to learn more about how you can run for office and be the change Douglas County needs.
