Depending upon the district size and composition it could take anywhere from 250,000 to millions plus.  You really need to gain party support and be able to go out and raise campaign funds from the public and individual sources.  Focus on working for and within the party, perhaps try to land a staffers job or run for a lower level office to get established.  It is not impossible but it is highly improbable at 25 unless you are independently wealthy and want to send you own money.

Sometimes the requirements differ depending on the office.  Most offices will require you to submit some type of application and pay a fee.  You may need to pay a fee to cover the costs of printing your biography in the ballot pamphlet.  Some offices might also require you to submit a petition with a certain number of signatures.  You may need to run in a primary election if you are running for a partisan office.  You should check with local registrar of voters or other local election officials for more information.\n\nIn terms of conducting your campaing, be sure to study local campaigns.  There are plenty of people who are willing to sell their services.  You can buy campaign signs, solicit donations, knock on doors, do phone banking and all sorts of things depending on how much support you have.

1. Contact you state's Board of Elections to find out what the qualifications are for the post you would be seeking. This is free information so you should not be asked to pay anything other than maybe shipping if they mail you information.\n\n2. For State seats, you will need a fixed minimum of signatures from registered voters in the state. This also depends on if you're going to seek a Republican or democratic nomination or if you plan to run as an Independent. Most states will require Independents to obtain more signatures than someone running for a party nomination. As an Independent, none of the people who sign your petetion can be a registerd member of a political party and/or they can not have voted in any party's primary in the past 2 years to be eligible. If you plan to seek a party's nomination then the people who sign your petition can only be Independents who have not voted in the opposing party's primary in the past 2 years or they can be members of the party in who's nomination you seek.  It's always better to obtain the maximum allowed just in case some of the people end up being un-allowable.\n\n3. Money Money Money. You will have to pay a registration fee to get put on the ballot once you submit your petition. You will also need money to run your campaign.\n\nThere are a lot of rules that vary from state to state so take step 1 first and go from there. Just so I know, what state is this? I live in Ohio and am pretty up to par on Ohio election laws, seeing as I just campaigned for a seat on my City Council, I lost in a re-count by 45 votes :-(

Most of our politicians are lawyers. Study history and political science, sociology and communication skills as an undergrad. Then go to law school. Then work for a Senator,  Congressman or Supreme Court Justice and/or get hired onto an election campaign or two. Then run for office in your city or state.

Start contacting some of your local politicians: assembley members, state representatives, state senators, right up to your U.S. Congressional representative. THIS is one of the reasons they are there. They have connection in a lot of areas, and can get things done quickly for the right reasons. \nYou don't have to tell them what party you belong to or anything, just let them know you ARE a registered voter, and that you would greatly appreciate their support.  \nGood Luck!

OK, law degrees and grad school are ok, but they're not going to get you on track necessarily.  The best way is to take a small job with someone in the field.  Think about moving to DC, which is where the largest amount of open jobs in that field exist.  A friend of mine took a two day trip up there once, and just handed out resumes to EVERY Congressman or Senator applying for the lowest congressional staffer positions.  There are also a lot of non-profit and lobbying organizations in DC which will help you out.\n\nThe easier way to get IN is to volunteer for a congressional campaign.  If you can afford to volunteer yourself full-time (for no pay), you'll get lots of great political experience without having to interview for the position.  But there are no guarantees.  From my experience, volunteering for a big presidential campaign is almost worthless, because you'd be just one of hundreds.  Instead, try to connect with a House of Representatives race (preferably a very competitive race), or perhaps someone running for State office.  Be sure it's someone who you like, and can tolerate working with.  It's a very stressful time, so if you're working with jerks, it just gets worse toward the end.\n\nIf you can find a way to use what you know, that will even give you a head start.  For example, if you can figure out how to use your English degree or some of your recent work experience, so much the better.  For example, if your English skills extend to writing or editing, perhaps that can be an in to a political publishing area.  \n\nIn the end, though, it's all a matter of perseverence.

In the United States a person must be at least 35 to be President or Vice President, 30 to be a Senator, or 25 to be a Congressperson, as specified in the U.S. Constitution. Most states in the U.S. also have age requirements for the offices of Governor, State Senator, and State Representative. Some states have a minimum age requirement to hold any elected office (usually 21 or 18). Most states will not allow ballot access to people who do not meet the age requirement of the office they are running for.

Go to the website for your county BOE (Board of Elections).  Every state and every race is different.  Some only require a registration, however most require you to have a certain number of signatures from the party you plan on running in or from the jurisdiction at large.  Some positions have filing fees, others do not.\n\nIf you have a party affiliation, it also helps to go meet with the County Party for their advice and help on running the election and gathering the signatures.

Join your local political party of choice, volunteer for a good few years, door knocking, talking to people, campaigning, getting known in your community. Then, ideally volunteer in an MP's office to see if you will like the job. Then work your way up, get some elected positions under your belt at local level...maybe become a local councillor. Attend lots of local-level party meetings and try and change things from the inside. Then eventually stand for a reasonably safe seat in your (ideally local) constituency, and hope for the best. Et viola!

According the US Constitution, in order to be in the House of Representatives, you must be "seven Years a Citizen of the United States".  For the Senate, nine years.  In order to be President, however, Article 2 says "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."  So to be in Congress or President, you certainly have to be a citizen.  In order to work in the bureaucracy, I believe the standard is much lower.  As long as you're here legally, and don't have a criminal background, you can probably get into most lower government positions.  Citizenship certainly couldn't hurt, though.

For the last few years it appears that In the US to be president  you have to:   be at least 35 years old, know the basics in reading, speak as if you've never completed elementary school, be married to a woman and be a Christian.  Oh and can't forget, must have a ton of your father's money at your disposal.\n\nIf you can cover those basic rules, you'll be golden.

first, write a proposal for the law and send it to your congressmember. then, write a petition for your law and get people to sign it, and then request a meeting with your congressmember to talk about it. that's what i would do.
