How can I become an alderman?

Answer by  John (9008)

The exact rules for how aldermen are selected vary by state, so you will have to check the specific rules for where you live. In general, however, this is usually an elective office. You have to campaign and get elected just like any other local official. Local rules vary on what qualifications are needed to run.

Call your city council office. Ask to speak to an existing alderman or someone who knows the qualifications for becoming alderman in your town.

It depends on where you live. Contact your town hall. Often this information, with the credentials you'll need, is available online.
