Patch in St. Louis is getting ready to launch a fun and we hope informative project in conjunction with the 2012 election cycle, and we need your help to find a few good men and women to make it happen.

We're looking for current or former elected officeholders, campaign activists, or township, county or state party officials--both Republicans and Democrats--who would be interested in telling us their opinions as we arrived at upcoming elections.

Whether you live in Hazelwood or another part of the Greater St. Louis Area, participate in Patch's Participate 2012!

We'll leave it there as far as the details go for now. We've already got a great crop of participants who have signed on, but we could always use more. If this sounds like something you'd like to do, or if you know someone who'd be perfect for it, email Hazelwood Patch editor Candace Jarrett at candace.jarrett@patch.com.
