You will have to do some research. If you are a member of a political party they may already have someone who is running in your district. If you are an independent you will need to contact the election officials in your state and find out the requirements for getting on the ballot. I am guessing it will take a lot of signatures of people in the district.

Once you get on the ballot you will need to do lots of things, you need to be very organized and know your stance on the issues. You will need to raise money to buy advertisements, radio ads, tv ads, posters in people's yards etc. You will need to find volunteers who will stuff envelopes and mail them out, make phone calls, contact papers and set up interviews etc.

Here is a good article from a congressmen that talks about running for office.
