Local Progressive Candidates Needed in 2023
Around Cuyahoga County in 2023 most of the election action is in our suburban communities. Suburban communities will be electing mayors, city council members and school board members. Suburban elections are on a much smaller scale than the Ohio General Assembly, County Council and U.S. Congressional elections. That makes them more winnable for two reasons 1) An aggressive door knocking campaign can reach a higher percentage of the electorate and 2) You don’t need as much money to win.
The recent right wing attacks on our public education system have shown how important local school board positions are. And it has always been important to have progressives on local city councils and as mayors. Run for Office is CCPC’s guide on how to do it. Below are two articles on why to do it and two training sessions on how to do it.
