If it's OK to post this here, I found a great organization called Contesteveryrace.com. They recruit candidates to run in otherwise uncontested seats. Check them out!
Good news. Locally, here in Chicano Beverly Hills (Whittier) on April 14th we ousted the 27 year MAGA mayor and elected a progressive Democrat. In two other districts holding elections for council seats, we replaced two Rs with two Democrats. In 2024, another district elected a Dem. So, the 100 year hold on city government by Republicans gave way. One council seat left to turn in two years. Good times. Lots of work, great turnout in off year election, and great payoff.
In OC county Superintendent of Schools Bean and OC Board of Ed trustee Barke will be reappointed after no opponent filed to run in June (which is final election for these offices). Can’t unseat them if no one runs!

Times are a changing.
If you didn't take the time to listen to Wiltz's entire video, it's worth the listen. Really inspiring.
