How to Run for Office: A Practical, Non-Partisan Guide

by bam

A clear, non-partisan, step-by-step guide to running for elected office in the United States: deciding whether and which office to run for (local to federal), the eligibility basics (which vary by office and state), how to get on the ballot, the rules that govern campaign money (the FEC for federal races vs. state and local rules), building a campaign, fundraising ethics, finance disclosure, and what happens on Election Day and after. Cited to the FEC, USA.gov, NCSL, and Ballotpedia. It teaches you the process, not who should win.
