4th Tuesday, Zoom, 7pm

Certainly, the political events of 2025 have highlighted the need for new leaders. Are you motivated to run? Join "Explore a Run," a monthly online session where you can learn from local individuals who have recently run for office. We will gather for 70 minutes each month to discuss questions about running for city, county, state, or national positions, focusing on local concerns such as fundraising, campaigning, marketing, and navigating local politics. Feel free to attend once or multiple times. The meetings will be conducted via Zoom (link provided later), and participation is free. Explore a Run welcomes residents of Pickens and Oconee counties who share democratic values.
