Should I run for office in a deep red part of Florida
It’s just thought in my head that’s been running around that I should do something, no idea how far I could even get. This more of an excuse to talk about running
Blue wave happened, but it seems like corporate Dems are the obstacle instead of fascist Republicans. So there’s still work to be done.
Panhandle of Florida is so red that I think Democrats running barely find the motivation to run in the elections because they lose decisively and consistently, but I’m convinced that I could do better. I could run for house of representatives position or county commissioner position, I feel like running for those positions.
Seems like if I could get the signatures needed to get my name on the ballot for free then I can ramp up the campaign. I’d testing the connections I have made with my activism.
Angie Nixon going from nobody with no backing to 48% of the votes in the general has been inspiration and I probably could help her out and get the 200k votes she would need to win in 2028.

Yes. And do it in the GOP. Make them debate communism in the primary.

If you do, or are still undecided, talk to these guys! Their entire purpose is helping liberal people with no political experience run for office in conservative areas. I heard Rachel Maddow talk about it once so there’s that runforsomething.net/run/
