Nothing in this life is free. That said, becoming a candidate for election is a costly matter both for you and the taxpayers of Menomonee Falls.
If you choose to enter the fray, I hope you will understand the
costs to you of time and effort that come with the job. Whether for the
Village Board or School Board, the pay is modest and meetings can become
long and tedious. You will probably not see as much of your family as
you would like.
There are governmental costs as well. For each candidate taking out nomination papers there are reams of paperwork and staff time necessary to fulfill the requirements of state election laws.
There are paybacks, however. For you, the good feeling that what you do will set the direction of the Village for years to come. And for the citizens, a well-run, efficient, governmental organization working smoothly for the common good.
