ESSEX COUNTY, NJ — Want to run for a local elected office, or learn how to manage a political campaign? An upcoming training workshop in Essex County may be able to give you a boost, organizers say.

The League of Women Voters of Livingston and the League of Women Voters of the Montclair Area are co-hosting the Campaign School at Yale University’s program for political candidates and their campaign managers.

The workshop “provides a comprehensive overview on how to run for office, manage a campaign or become an active participant in the public sphere,” organizers said.
