Signatures, a deposit, and hundreds of doors. Local seats turn on a few hundred votes, and often nobody else stands.

## How you would actually start

- Check whether the promise holds

“Signatures, a deposit, and hundreds of doors. Local seats turn on a few hundred votes, and often nobody else stands.” That is the pitch. Spend an hour on first-hand accounts rather than listicles — what it costs, how long it really takes, and what people wish they had known.

- Find the small version first

There is almost always a one-afternoon version. Do that before committing money or telling anyone.

- Put it somewhere you will see it

An intention you have not written down is a mood. A list you revisit is a decision you keep making.
