Thinking about running for office in November?

San Mateo County is holding a meeting Wednesday, June 30, on The Mechanics of Running for Public Office [pdf] for people who are thinking about running in November. The meeting, subtitled "Getting a Head Start on November 2, 2004",  will take place at 40 Tower Road San Mateo 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm.

According to the county’s official elections site, elections will be held in November for the Cabrillo Unified School District,  San Mateo County Harbor District, La Honda-Pescadero Unified School District and Pescadero Municipal Advisory Council.

The Cabrillo Unified School District election is likely to be contentious, as it has in recent years. The terms of Board members Ken Jones and Ruth Palmer expire this year.

Time is running out. The deadline for filing is Friday, August 6. If any incumbents fail to file, the deadline will be extended to Wednesday, August 11.
