Call your state Republican party (only because they're the only game in town besides Dems) and find out what candidate classes they have. You can also contact the Virginia Project and take some of their zoom candidate classes or ask if there are similar groups in your state.
Most important of all, find one or two pressing issues that the voters in your town care passionately about - job opportunities and drawing new businesses, sensible planning and development, transportation issues. If you offer a solution to problems that your neighbors really care about, all the entrenched politicos won't be able to stop you. Editing to add - surprised so few people cite this. This is crucial - if you don't have a good platform on issues that will motivate people to get out and vote for you, all the fundraising, door knocking, advertising, volunteers won't get you elected.
Gather support from friends, especially those who are active in the community and leaders in business or other important facets of your town. Then rub your shoe leather down to shreds knocking on doors and attending events where you can talk to and meet voters.
Good luck!
