ROTHENBURGER: Why we should go back to three-year terms for City council
WE’RE INTO THE opening phase of civic election 2022, with two candidates already declared for mayor of Kamloops. This is the time when anyone thinking of running for office needs to begin making serious plans.
They need to begin forming a campaign strategy, including a platform, getting volunteers, setting up a budget and deciding when and how to announce that they’re in the race.
