A friend of mine ran for office and I did some writing for her, and man oh man, local politics can be really difficult and competitive. I admire people who can go through all that campaigning and self-promotion and abuse. I think I'll stick to writing! But yes, if anyone in the comment section runs for public office, please let us know!

You are so right about local politics - especially school boards even before this weird moment. I served for about 15 years on a tiny water control district, and we were almost constantly being harassed. We finally folded during the pandemic. ItтАЩs a perilous situation when only those with a thirst for power, publicity and self dealing are willing to run for office.

Anyway, keep writing! The pen is mightier than the sword!
