Before You Run for Office, Know What You’re Getting Into

Thinking about a campaign for local office? Before you print yard signs or file paperwork, let’s take an honest look at whether you’re truly ready — personally, professionally, and politically.

I’m not your campaign manager. I’m your reality check.

I work with people on the edge of a decision — those seriously considering a run for office, but still unsure what it really takes.

With decades of experience as an elected official and public leader, I guide you through the tough questions:

  • Are you prepared to have your private life made public?
  • Can you commit to months of door-knocking, fundraising, and long nights?
  • Will your family — and your reputation — hold up under the pressure?

Together, we’ll assess your personal situation, identify gaps in preparation, and clarify whether now is the right time — or if there’s more groundwork to do. This is not about hype. It’s about wisdom, strategy, and service.
