Former officeholders who teach what the office is. Listed by office held. Never by party.
Learn to Run is taught by people who have done the job — former commissioners, school board members, port and PUD commissioners, mayors, council members, judges, auditors — and by retired election officials who know filing week from the other side of the counter.
Every panel seats more than one party; no one on stage says which. No sitting candidate serves during an election year. Members of the Bench complete a one-hour orientation on Article I and the Equal-Treatment Standard.

The Bench is listed by what a person did in office, not by whom they ran with. Panels are balanced across parties as a matter of practice; party is never stated on stage, never printed here, and never asked on the form.
