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.
 Â
Step Up, and – Run for Local Office!
Â
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!
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
 Why run for office?
Â
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 governmentÂ
Â
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.
