Are you interested in helping your community to become a better place? Are you frustrated with the encroachment of local government upon your everyday life? Do you wish that you could do something about the increasing taxes, infringement upon property rights, and in complexities of starting a small business during a rough economic period?
SD-45 is looking to assist tomorrow’s leaders in getting into local government. Maybe your interests lie with school, city, or county issues. There are more opportunities for service than you can imagine.
