Consider Running for Public Office at Local Governments

Have you ever considered serving your community by running for local public office? Government service is a significant time commitment, but it is often a rewarding experience. Local Monterey Peninsula governments with elections in November 2024 include cities, water districts, school districts, a community college district, an airport district, and a park district.

Your Chamber of Commerce can help you develop a strategic plan and obtain training for a campaign in the November 2024 election. Contact Monica Lal at monica@montereychamber.com or at (831) 648-5350 if you have an interest in running for public office.
