Since the parents is discussing running for local office, I'm not sure why you think party comes in to play. Or perhaps this is a regional thing? In my city, party affiliations are not advertised/listed for positions such as city council, mayoral, parks board etc.

Interesting, I seem to recall party affiliation on most of the local positions on my ballot. Granted, not for things like library board member.

There's party affiliation in some local elections, but the elections themselves are not necessarily expensive.
