My guess is that he did ask anyone he thought would be viable.  I am not
sure what the laws are like in your area but, here, state and local
employees are not allowed to run for office unless they give up their day
jobs first.  So if they don't win, they've been without a job for several
months and will remain unemployed.

I don't know that this would apply to bus drivers but it would if they are
considered a county employee.

Now you are just being silly.

Like I said, he might be able to run for and hold one office, but it is not
likely he can hold more than one.  I don't what the laws are like in your
area, but here you cannot hold more than one office at a time -- I am not
sure if a committe chair is allowed to run without resigning their post
first.
