I am being urged to run for an office that may turn vacant

It reminds me of the necessity of contesting all races as Greg says.

Luck, they say, is the intersection of hard work and opportunity. Without the hard work, opportunity goes unmet. Kuff has already introduced us to one candidate looking to do a little hard work between now and election day, 2006 - Janette Sexton. Anyone and everyone in the Pasadena-area, 144th District would be well-advised to get involved and start getting involved in that race. Those outside of the 144th should get involved as well. Check around your neighborhood's political lineup and run this test I once put to a friend: Who's your Congressman? Who's your State Senator? Who's your State Rep? Who's your Justice of the Peace? If you keep going down the line and continually get the names of Republican officeholders, it's time to start realizing that it may be you who is the leading voice for your party in your neighborhood. If that's the case, then make it official and run for something.
