LWV Hosting "Running for Office" Workshop


The League of Women Voters is hosting a morning workshop November 17 for those of you interested in running for office next year. It will take place at Northampton Community College's Kiva Hall. You can register here. The cost is $45 until November 1, when it shoots up to $50.

Every participant receives a loose leaf binder toolkit so that you can run without running afoul of Pennsylvania's murky campaign finance laws.

Next year's races are municipal, where party affiliation is far less important than in this year's races. It helps to have a good name. In California's Orange County, that name is Nguyen (pronounced Winn, with a very slight n sound in the beginning).Thirteen Nguyens are among 24 persons of Vietnamese descent seeking office.

They are all nguynners.

  1. Now we know why Republicans dodge their debates. This is counter to their gerrymandered districts.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
