Politics is not a spectator sport.

Citizens like you need to get actively involved and help us make politics work for the people of our communities.

The front line in politics is for men and women who care enough to step forward and become candidates for local office -- State Assembly, State Senate, U.S. Congress, and local judicial posts.

Running as a Republican is not easy. But few worthwhile things are.

We need concerned citizens to step up and run for office this year.

You don't need to be an expert on politics, or experienced in government: you need to care about the direction our state and country are heading, and be willing to do something about it.

The founding fathers never envisioned American government as a special permanent class of officeholders.

They believed that regular citizens would step forward to serve in office, make a contribution to their community and their government, then retire after a few years and allow someone else to serve.

We'll help train you, as well as assist you with volunteers and fundraising.

You'll make new friends, and learn more about your own neighborhood and local communities than you ever thought possible.

Are you up to it?

We're waiting to hear from you.
