I sat before a county commission board when I ran for county clerk. Was a pretty interesting experience. Typically the position is an elected one, but we had the county clerk retire mid-term which meant the county commission had to approve and appoint the replacement.

Trouble was, the Clerk was the ONLY member of one party in the entire county, which meant that the commission was entirely opposition.

I didn't get the seat, but it was an interesting process on how it worked out. I felt like I did as well as I could have considering the possibilities. I would say-make sure you read and learn all the bylaws. Its the little bitty bits of information that will have the largest impact on your running. Don't forget to cross your t's and dot your i's. I'm glad I didn't have that problem, but along the way it could have seriously screwed me before I started.
