The Jefferson County League of Women Voters is hosting a series of informational interviews with county office holders on the day-to-day process of running for office and serving in office. 

The interviews will be held Tuesday, March 2 and Friday, March 5 and will be broadcast live on zoom and archived online in video and print form as tools to support prospective candidates for public office. 

Organizers of the series said each session will feature office holders who will discuss why they ran for office, how they planned and ran their campaigns, and how they budgeted for campaign costs. They will also discuss their official duties and the time they require, and offer advice for prospective candidates.
