CICE "State of the City" 04/11

I am reaching out on behalf of the CICE to let you all know about an upcoming event we are putting on. Mayor Victoria Woodards is giving a "State of the City" speech on April 11th, and we are hosting a viewing party and following discussion in the Rotunda. The live stream begins at 6:00 PM, and we should be done with the following discussion by 8:00 PM. Would you be willing to let your students know about this event and pass on our poster? We would really love to have students engaged in city politics!

It can be a challenge both locally and nationwide for interested political candidates to find open positions, deadlines, and learn the requirements for elections. That may be why only two percent of Americans run for office, and 40 percent of state legislature races in the U.S. go uncontested.

Users will find a fully address searchable database, a list of every elected office in their area, filing requirements and even training. Start by plugging your zip code into the platform! The database for this effort was compiled by two University of Washington students.
