Step up and run for local leadership in 2026!

From city council to water districts, these offices shape daily life in your community. That’s why we need strong Democrats like you who are ready to step up, protect essential services, and ensure our communities reflect the priorities we believe in. 

We're looking for passionate community members to run for local office this November. Whether you're a longtime activist or newly involved, now is your time to take action and create positive change. 

If you're considering running for office in November, we invite you to attend a Learn About Running for Office information session. A schedule of upcoming sessions can be found below, and at sddems.link/run26.
