Candidate School - How to Run for Local Elected Office

How to run for Local Elected Office
The Winona Area Chamber of Commerce will host a Candidate School on Thursday, March 22nd from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. at the Winona Chamber Conference Room.

In this non-partisan workshop, participants will learn from experienced public service veterans the basics of running for a local elected position. This workshop is open to anyone who is interested in learning more about how local campaigns really work, whether it is from a candidate perspective, as a volunteer supporter of a local candidate or someone who is interested in the topic.

Attendees will learn about what really happens after winning an election, what financial compensation or potential benefits are available for those elected to local boards and councils, and what local governance is all about.

Open to the public. Pre-registration is required (no at-the-door registration.) Seating is limited based on a first reserved basis.
