All About Running for Office

When: Saturday, May 18th, 2 to 4 pm

Location: El Dorado Mobile Home Park (Clubhouse), 600 E Weddell Drive, Sunnyvale

We are now in the November 2024 election season! Over the next few months the Sunnyvale Democratic Club will be holding endorsement meetings for Sunnyvale Mayor and City Council, School Board Trustees and other local offices. Many residents may be deciding if they want to run for office.

Of special interest is Fremont Union High School District which is holding its first by-trustee-area elections for District 2 (North Sunnyvale) and District 5 (Saratoga area).

At this meeting, we will hear from Sunnyvale Councilmembers Richard Mehlinger and Alysa Cisneros, FUHSD Trustee Naomi Nakano-Matsumoto and José Magaña, Founding Executive Director of Latinos for Education in the Bay Area what is involved in running for office locally and what is required to serve as an elected official. They will address such questions as how much money you need, what is the time commitment, and what skills are required. And, they will answer questions from the meeting attendees..

This meeting will also give us insight into what characteristics we should look for when we endorse a candidate.

-------

Since this is May, we will also hold our annual Executive Board elections at the end of the meeting.

When: SATURDAY, May 18th, 2 to 4 pm
