I've been invited to run for office
Posted by dansail 5 years, 2 months ago to Government
Yesterday I received a letter in the mail from the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania. In the letter they declared success in having increased presence in elected office throughout our Commonwealth (increased from 30 seats to 70 seats). The letter then closed with a sentence that says "We need a Libertarian candidate to run for Pennsylvania House of Representatives in YOUR district, 43".
While I find the solicitation intriguing, I would quickly concede I'm no politically minded individual, being an engineer. This then prompted me to pose the question to this group: If you were asked to run, even for a local office, for the Libertarian Party, how much of a nudge would it take for you to take that step?

He told me I should run for our State assembly. My immediate response, "Dave...I don't want anything to do with those people in there." Truth told, I have met with my assembly rep a few times to get him to not vote in favor of the nazi regime on a couple laws. Made my point and got out.
Politics actually roils my stomach. If I got elected I wouldn't last more than a few months because I'd be a wrecking ball. I'd make Trump look like Mr. Rogers...
If you might win, then you have to consider if you are willing to take the job.
