It’s a pretty straight forward affair, filing to run for office. Write your name, address, and phone number on a sheet of paper, sign it, hand over a check in the amount of 1% of the salary of the office you’re seeking (in the case of alderman, $333), raise your hand and swear you’re not a “stalking horse” and you meet the qualifications for the office and — POOF! — you’re in the fight of your life.
