Before former President Obama got to the White House, he was a hardworking public servant in the Illinois State Senate.

All over the country, amazing young, diverse progressives are running for and serving in office at the local level to enact real and important change. 

But only 5-10% of Americans vote in local elections! 

So we’re polling folks in your state to see how many are planning to vote in their local elections. Please let us know:

Have you voted in a local election?

For many, running for ANY office can feel like a distant dream.

But Run for Something can help turn that dream into a reality. We recruit, support, and propel young, diverse progressives to local and state offices, because that’s where the change begins. But these efforts take time and resources, and our candidates and alumni need the support of their communities – and YOU! – to help them build a better future. 
 

So please, tell us now:

Have you voted in a local election?

Thank you,

Run for Something
