Having an Agent qualify a candidate for office

A candidate may use an agent to file his qualifying form. 

The agent shall file with the qualifying official an agent affidavit form (PDF) attesting that the agent has the authorization and consent of the candidate to file the notice.

An agent who files a notice of candidacy without the authorization or consent of the candidate shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and fined not more than $500 or imprisoned not more than 30 days, or both.
