There is a lot of work to be done and we could use all the support we can get!
Check our calendar page, come out to meetings, subscribe to this blog on the main page and shoot me an email if you have any questions: contact@content.summitlp.org .
The easiest way to find out what seats are available where you are and when is to go to the Summit County BOE website and do a "voter search" on yourself and click "elected officials". *note that the districts for State House and Senate may have changed as of September 2011, so check the State House and Senate Maps.
Want to Run? See below for the instructions from the LPO. We would like to help you at the county level as well, and do intend on having seminars on strategies for getting into local office, again, subscribe to the blog on the main page so you don't miss any important opportunities.
