Anyone get Elected?

olgentdc · Nov 18, 2018

There are a few that hang out here that have run for county or
state office and got elected ? . Would you care to admit it?
.Either in the past or the most recent election ,Whether you won or
lost . Will You please chime in and report the office. LOL It Has
been a year for sure for Me . I got selected as County
Commissioner when a friend of mine died in office. .Consequently I
signed to keep the job and ran the gauntlet of parades ,
appearances and all sorts of public exposure.That work paid off
when we won the general election by over 60 % .

I didn't run, however all I Voted for (except the county sheriff) won election. Note the lack of political content/direction. Jim

My tractor hasn't run for any office in a long time.

I do not get along well enough in groups to function as elected official.

olgentdc · Nov 18, 2018

Yeah , I know you are Right , I should have mentioned my 3 DC Case tractors .and all my 30 and 70 series and the odd 4020.

Thanks Jim, what I would of expected!

I've been involved with our township government for the past 22 years. First elected as a trustee for 2 terms, then township clerk for 3 terms, and now Township Supervisor for 2 years. Guess being an Oliver owner, makes for good citizenship. LOL!

Will start my 4th. term as a county commissioner here in Michigan. We have to run every 2 years. No one running against me in all 4 elections....

Does the township level count?
One year on zoning board of appeals.
Four years on town board.
Two year term as supervisor. I probably could have had it for life if I wanted it. But I didn't.

Gambles · Nov 18, 2018

LOL, speaking of township levels, I have a neighbor who ran unopposed as a treasurer for the township level. Being in a sparsely populated county, it's one of those jobs that it's volunteer and everybody is thankful that he took it....or it may not get filled. ANYWAY, since he's a neighbor of mine and can take a joke, I wanted to take an old wood pallet and paint his name on it with the words "for township board" behind it, but I simply ran out of time to do so. Of course, he got elected.

I didn't but the Wife got elected for the third time as county supervisor!---Tee

Rich'sToys · Nov 18, 2018

I've served on various boards and committees in our church over the years, but have never run for public office, and have no intentions of doing so.

Sparktrician · Nov 18, 2018

I'm a Twp trustee here in southern Ohio... It's a interesting gig, I enjoy it. Up for reelection next year!

oldtanker · Nov 18, 2018

I wanted to run......emperor for life of the US.......my wife said it was a bad idea.

I got elected to the ZM school board for the 5th time. It's great to be able to give back to the community.

Ron/PA · Nov 18, 2018

If you're not willing to run and serve your community then you shouldn't be whining about how things are done.

Man up and do your time.

RobCons · Nov 18, 2018

Not elected positions but I'm on the town's zoning board, safe structure committe, plus a couple of groups. Putting up the towns Christmas tree tomorrow. Small town America!

sotxbill · Nov 18, 2018

Had an uncle working on a lamp that got elected purty bad but he survived. (sic)

Leroy · Nov 19, 2018

Never heard of position of township Supervisor. All have around here in Ohio is Trustee, clerk and zoning

1130Leo · Nov 19, 2018

Spent over 20 years on township planning commission, was elected Township Supervisor 2 years ago. Have to say it is humbling to serve ones community.

Thomasthetankengine · Nov 19, 2018

Re-elected to County Farm Bureau, Board of Directors. Thats enough pollyticks for me. Lol

Bret4207 · Nov 19, 2018

Still serving on the Town Board here. I think I'm up next year. I hate having to beg for signatures on the primary petition, but if I don't someone might get in that isn't as responsible with the tax payers money. It's a fight, that I can tell you. Lordy! The number of folks that seem to think money grows on trees! We're having a hard time finding anyone to run for the Supervisors position. It's a lot of hours every week and not much money, works out to less than $5.00 an hour and all the headaches you can handle!

Bob, let me guess- fighting the county and State every minute? Lot of headaches trying to do the right thing, eh?
