Yep, and the sheriff is a county thing... so how do you influence the sheriff election? By having a shadow government in your town. Towns/Counties influence states, states influence the nation.
It'd be wildly impractical to run for governor for example on day 1 of deciding to begin operations. A governor needs people around them, state police etc. So where do you start? A group in your town that takes over the town council or whatever form it has.
Can't get a plurality on a town council in one election either, need to build community organizations so you get people and aligned and know you, and discover people for other positions. Just to keep a town government in check you need to build your own townie deep state.
Activism needs to be planned over decades, not issue by issue or headline by headline.
