- In York County, it’s tough to find people to run for local elected offices. Maybe it’s because of the way were forced to pick people. York County’s head of the Democratic Party said, “”There is some difficulty for both parties — the Republicans and Democrats — to find candidates for some of the down ballot seats.”
- OPINION: Since “Candidates for public offices are nominated by political parties,” the candidate has got to be an insider to get real consideration. The more you “play the game” or “ante up,” the better your chances are to “get the nod.”
