There will be more than 150 positions available on various local city councils, school boards, parks, fire, water, and utility districts in Placer County in November.

Placer County Office of Elections will put on five free candidate workshops throughout Placer County to take the mystery out of running for office. The workshops will explain many of the details involved in running for public office, including campaign financial disclosure filing, campaigning techniques and working with the media.

The Tahoe workshop is July 11 at 6pm, Customs House Building, 775 North Lake Blvd., Tahoe City.
