Problem: Article: Everyone has different ways of communicating, but some styles make it more difficult to say what you mean, mean what you say, and avoid being mean.  Passive people tend to avoid speaking up and avoid confrontation. They give in easily to and have difficulty saying “no,” for fear of being mean.  Aggressive people tend to be emotionally honest, but express this honesty in an inappropriate way. They overreact and belittle others in interactions. They are loud, accusatory, and unwilling to listen to others’ viewpoints.  Passive-aggressive people are not clear about what they truly want, need, or feel. They are indirect, make promises and commitments they cannot keep, give people the silent treatment, and use sarcasm. They may come across as judgmental. Think of typical situations in which you are having trouble speaking up. Imagine what you’d like to say to the other person. Take time to gather your thoughts.  Write down what you’d like to say. Practice with a trusted friend. Role-play with a trained professional, such as a counselor, who can give you honest and objective feedback. “I want…”, “I feel…”, and “I need…” are helpful ways to get across your feelings clearly and directly without blaming the other person for something. These are especially helpful when you need to convey negative feelings or have an uncomfortable conversation. You can use this formula in virtually any situation: “When you do [action], I feel [emotion], and I need [action].”  Make sure not to use bad language or be vulgar; that will make the relationship worse. If you want to address a problem with a coworker, try saying, “When you leave work for three-hour lunches, I feel burdened with finishing up the research on our project. I need more time with you to do this together.” If you want to express a concern to a friend, try saying, “When you repeatedly cancel plans with me at the last minute, I feel sad and disappointed. I need more notice if you’re going to cancel.” If you use appropriate body language, your message will be better received by the other person. Assertive body language comes across as more confident. Begin by looking person directly in the eye.  Maintain direct eye contact with the other person. Do not look down, look away, or glare. Stand or sit up straight. Avoid putting your hands on your hips, clenching your fists, or pointing your finger at the other person. Do not fidget. Do not raise your voice, shout, or hesitate.
Summary: Avoid unhealthy communication styles. Practice speaking in front of a mirror. Use appropriate language. Use appropriate body language.

Problem: Article: Look at the offices you can hold in your county, city, or town so you know what your options are. Pick an office that you’re passionate about with duties that you’re able to manage easily. Some common local positions include mayor, treasurer, city council, and school board president. Check the duties of the positions you’re interested in to see if they’re something you want to do.  For example, if you’ve previously worked in finance, you may run for treasurer. If you have a law background, you might choose to run for city counselor or law director. Each city or county may have different positions and duties. Be sure to check your local elections office or website to see specific information for your area. Make sure to determine whether the position you're running for is partisan or non-partisan. If you want a partisan position, you may need to affiliate with a political party or run as an independent. Think of 1-2 sentences about why you want to run for local office. Incorporate what values you hold or things you want to change for the better. When other people ask you why you want to run, be consistent with your message so you aren’t telling others different things.  For example, if you want to run for the school board, your message may be, “To help children learn through the most effective practices.” Take firm stances on what you want to accomplish or else you might not be taken as seriously. Each position has different qualifications, but many require you to be a certain age and to have lived in the area you’re running for a specific amount of time. Visit your local elections office or their website confirm that you qualify for the position you're running for. The full list of requirements for running in your area may be posted online on your local election office’s website. Some offices require you to get support from local voters in order to run in a local election. Look at the requirements from your local election office to see what forms and petitions you need to provide. If a petition is required, then be sure to fill it out entirely and collect the number of signatures you need. Go to your local election office and ask them for a candidacy application. Fill out the forms completely and pay any required fees if there are any. Make sure to turn in the forms by the deadline specified at your office so your name is on the ballot for the election. Check your local office’s website to see if the applications are available for you to print at home.
Summary:
Choose the local office you want to run for. Develop a simple message that describes why you want to run. Confirm that you meet all requirements necessary to run in a local election. Investigate whether you need a petition with voter signatures to become a candidate. Fill out the application for candidacy for your local offices.
