Now is the Time to Run for Office - Deadline in Dec.

A timely reminder posted in a Knox News Sentinel Letter to the Editor:

Now is time to run for office

I saw a bumper sticker recently that read, "Enough is enough: don't re-elect anyone." I'm writing to remind everyone that it is impossible to vote someone out of office if he or she is running unopposed.

Now is the time to make sure every office has multiple candidates running for it. Nominating petitions are being circulated now, and the qualifying deadline is Dec. 13.

If you know a good potential candidate for a county office, encourage him or her to get papers and get on the ballot. Let's make sure voters have choices in 2008.
