I thought this might be some good information for the Wisconsin DU'rs who may want to run or know someone considering a run for office. The time is now to get your campaign going. Contact your county Democratic party and they will help you get started.
The deadline falls in what is normally a holiday period, but with the pandemic, getting nomination papers done will be harder: People have to have close contact and must physically sign a nomination paper. This is usually done 'door-to-door' or at special events ( another in-person close contact) with support groups like trade unions, advocacy groups, etc.
Running for office is where it all begins and where some good things can end.
