It is not difficult to become a candidate for public office, but you need to be aware of certain requirements and deadlines. Most folks understand that running for office is a significant commitment of time and energy, but many do not understand the preliminary and follow-up steps that are involved including petitions, organizational paperwork and campaign finance reporting requirements.

The League of Women Voters of Lynchburg is sponsoring a workshop on Tuesday, Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. in the Community Meeting Room of the Lynchburg Public Library. Lynchburg Registrar Carolyn Sherayko will present the program on how to become a candidate.

Everyone is invited, whether they anticipate running for office or are just curious about the process. Lynchburg City Council’s four ward representatives will be elected next May, so this informative workshop may be useful to potential candidates.

The program starts with the Qur’anic background, Sharia law and the Muslim
Brotherhood in the U.S. and then shows the infiltration into our political, social,
economic and religious institutions. It stresses that this is a political-legal threat that we
need to counter with political action at the local, state and federal levels.
It is not a matter of religion.

While most people are generally aware of overt terrorism, they often are not acquainted
with the underlying driving ideology. This program fills that void.

Bring your questions and come ready for lively discussion!
