I’ve tried to keep journals before and always felt the first entry to be the most difficult. Where do you begin?
Today I filed to run for an At-Large position on the City of Jacksonville’s City Council.
Here’s the run down of how it happened:
Last week I stopped by the Board of Election (a County department) to get some information. I wasn’t sure what I was looking for, but expected that they would have some sort of hand out. They wanted to know which position I was seeking in which municipality as well as if I planned to spend more or less than $3,000. I told them At-Large, Jacksonville and under.
I returned today after doing some business at the court house which is across the street. I answered the same questions and was given a packet to fill out. They helped with filling out the forms. Most the forms were about campaign finances–who’s your treasurer (myself), where’s your account at, etc. I paid the filing fee ($15) and was done. While I was there the Mayor stopped in to see who had filed. I was out the door in under 30 minutes.
