Have any of you considered running for a local office?

If it weren't for the mudslinging and the effects on my children I would consider running for local office of some sort.  I just don't think I could subject my family to the election process but I sometimes daydream about running and making a difference.  I know you can make it a difference without holding office but still.  Does anyone else ever think about running, even if it's only a crazy daydream?

  • No. I have several family members and friends who hold office and it's just not i desire. 

     Plus, I wouldn't really appeal to many constituents. I'm a niche market.  

  • I don't like public speaking.  I would not be a good candidate.  My husband has, though.  He's currently a councilman and is going to run for mayor in a few years.
