Topics including evaluating which offices you are qualified to run; the mechanics of petitioning; the administrative process of filing and defending your petitions at the Board of Elections; why and how petitions wind up the subject of court battles and what happens when they do, will all be covered.  Finally, the panel will discuss the candidate's responsibility to comply with Campaign Finance law, the new State Public Campaign Finance Board program, and review the best practices for setting yourself up for a successful experience.
