June 12th at NOON is the deadline to qualify to be a candidate for office in Sarasota County. For many of the offices there is a qualifying fee in order for you to run for office now that the petition deadline has past, but for some of the smaller offices there is little to no barrier for YOU to step and become an active part of civic life here in the community!
Charter Review Board - The Charter Review Board reviews and proposes changes to the Sarasota County Charter which are submitted to referendum in accordance with the provisions of Article VI of the Charter. Five seats are up for election - no filing fee. Learn more HERE.
Sarasota County Hospital Board - 4 seats up for election - $25 filing fee - Learn more HERE.
We need progressives on these Boards and we need more diverse representation on the boards also. Currently all 10 members of the Hospital Board and the Charter Review Board are White Republicans. And they will be again unless, one of you step up to challenge them. There is only one CRB seat that currently has a Democratic challenger. You can call the Supervisor of Elections office at 941-861-8600 to request a candidate packet for the office you are interested in running for.
Now is also the time to set up to get more involved with the Democratic Party and help us advance a progressive agenda within the party. You can run for election to be a Precinct Captain in your neighborhood. To do so, you will need to file the Candidate Oath found HERE by NOON on June 12th.
Please let us know if you are interested in running for any of these offices by emailing ProgressiveSarasota@gmail.com.
