Top officials in city, state and the federal governments are elected to office by the people. They run for office every two or four years and elections are held in the first week of November.
    People who run for elections are called politicians. Many of them are lawyers. Successful politicians are often famous and important people in their communities. Young lawyers who are interested in politics, often join political clubs when they graduate from law schools. As club members, they help older politicians get elected. The real purpose is when they have had enough experience and support, they run for office themselves.
    Before elections, political candidates always have a tight schedule. They have frequent meetings with their supporters and discuss details about their elections. But most of their time is spent on campaigning, shaking hands and making speeches to the public. There are different groups of voters that politicians try to win support from. Most large cities have black and Spanish-speaking communities who elect powerful politicians. Some politicians appeal to businessmen while others appeal to laborers. Many politicians run for office by taking sides on important issues, such as balancing government budget, getting equal rights for women, fighting corruption and creating job opportunities. Once politicians win elections, their futures depend on how well they do their jobs and how well the people hear of the work they are doing.
