Run for Office

The people of Wake County have over 120 different Elected Officials serving them in local, county, state, and federal government. From the local level up to the highest offices in the land, these Elected Officials affect the daily lives of every citizen. And each year, many of these offices come up before the voters for election.

All these Elected Offices need a Democratic Candidate dedicated to promoting the ideals of an open and fair government that serves all the people. Campaigning for Elected Office is a great responsibility with tremendous rewards. It also requires plenty of time, planning, and hard work. This includes speaking, fundraising, learning the issues, motivating volunteers, and most importantly, meeting with, listening to, and securing the votes of Wake County voters.
