Start local.  You absolutely can get into office if you&#x27;ve got some good ideas and you get people around you interested in what you have to say.  Get in at the smallest local unit of government you can, whether it&#x27;s the town council or water board or whatever.<p>You&#x27;ll discover how much relationship-building goes on, and how that leads to bigger and better opportunities to make a change in the world.<p>Guess what, it isn&#x27;t easy, but it&#x27;s absolutely doable.  (Not for those who call it all a myth, of course.)
