The decision for all positions from dog catcher on up to president need to start now. There is no time to waste. So if you don't like your local official. Then individuals need to run themselves or back a suitable candidate now.
BTW one thing will have to see is if there will even be an a presidential election come 2028. Trump has and is putting his faithful in positions of power and he is already defining the courts. The Supreme Court has given him the power to be king. So we shall see.
