Little's and the Great Halloween Scare by John Peterson

You're thinking about running for public office, but you aren't sure how to begin. But you want to get involved.

Maybe the thing that finally pushed you into politics was small, such as another $65 parking ticket or a city ordinance that bans selling ice cream cones at your new business. Or maybe it's something big, like the daily turmoil currently churning Washington, D.C. The national leadership is driving you crazy; or maybe you believe the administration is not being aggressive enough.

Whatever it is, you've decided it's time to run for office. But are you ready?

• Are you ready to raise the money you need to win?
• Do you have a game plan to deliver your message to your district's voters?
• Do you know how many votes you need to win?
• Do you know who those voters are?
• How do you gain the name recognition you need to win your race?
• Do you have a compelling message?
• Can you explain to voters, in just a few words, why they should give you their vote?

Nine Secrets for Getting Elected shares the truth about politics with you. It's about the things you need to know to run - and win - public office. It puts two-term Mayor and City Councilman Kit Bobko's 20-years of political experience in your campaign's corner.

Nine Secrets for Getting Elected is an unfiltered view of local politics from the campaign trail to serving on the city council and beyond. Kit walks you through planning, building the support you need to run, fundraising, and winning endorsements.
