I think this is an interesting idea, but I think we'd have to know why
people aren't running in the first place to know if it would be an
effective solution. For example, if few people are running because they are
hesitant about the time commitment, then having two year terms might
exacerbate that. I agree that there haven't been enough candidates the past
few elections, and some action should be taken to solve the issue. I'd like
to hear why people who considered running didn't do so, and what would make
them consider running in the future.

Thanks,
Meg
