Welp, I'm here in a bigger city. I'd like to participate, but our local party office has taken a pretty hardline stance that I'm not super supportive of. I haven't become a real attractive candidate until my business has become real (even though it's not open.) I live in the county, but my business is in the city.

My real question is...How can I "impose change/impose my will" upon my city council without living in the city.

I'm pretty sure I'm a solid appointment to many county advisory boards concerning zoning, rural areas, etc.

What's the best way to me to help the local area be what I want it to be for as long as I can without having to represent people?

ETA: I'm assuming you're not a school board rep or something. Even if you are, I value your opinions.

We are always seeking citizens to serve on boards, committees, etc. You sound like an ideal candidate. (Even if you are outside the city, but in the same county, and especially if you own a business.) We also appoint people within our area of influence.

Write a letter to the Mayor expressing your interest to get involved in the community planning. Share your background and any particular interest, such as planning and zoning.

Good Luck!
