I posted this a couple of weeks ago, but I'm bringing it back to the top of the blog to remind anyone who might be interested.
Fifth District Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske wants to let you know how to run for public office. Her monthly Wake Up Long Beach event will feature City Clerk Larry Herrera and two political consultants who will explain what steps are necessary to run for office.
You've got to give Schipske credit for hosting such an event. She is, after all, up for re-election in April 2010 in her East Long Beach district. So too are council members in the other four odd-numbered districts, as are Mayor Bob Foster, City Attorney Bob Shannon, City Prosecutor Tom Reeves and City Auditor Laura Doud.
Wake Up Long Beach will take place at 8 a.m. Wednesday at El Dorado Golf Restaurant, 2400 Studebaker Road. There is a $10 cost for breakfast. RSVP to 562-570-6932 or district5@longbeach.gov.
