It is crucial to a healthy democracy and responsive communities that voters from every societal strata vote and express their needs and interests. It’s also crucial that people with the interests of the community at heart, run for office. That can appear a very heavy, complicated, and mysterious climb. In the second half of the book, students and practitioners learn how to run for office and have the resources to plan a campaign, step by step.
