Unlike most major campaigns, city and local elections have very few resources and unfortunately low poll turnouts. Most monies spent on campaigning come from either small donations made by a few or the people running for office themselves. The countless hours and hard work by local officials that go into campaigning and running a city government are greatly appreciated—but too often go overlooked. The salaries aren’t great and most have other jobs; but the gratification to them is, for the most part, just being able to make a difference in the community that we live in. Thank You!
