John, It’s been just over a month as the new executive director of Run for Something – and I’ll just say: I’m in awe. I’m in awe of the amazing young progressives standing up and running to make their communities better, and I’m energized by our efforts to create a nation that truly reflects our electorate. This is an incredible honor and a big role to fill.
I chose Run for Something because they are the future of progressive politics. Between 2017 and 2024, we elected over 1,000 candidates to offices ranging from state legislator to county clerk and everything in between. Many candidates move on to higher office – making RFS the springboard for the new generation of progressive leadership. For this crucial investment in our country, we need your support. Can we count on you to donate and help build the biggest pipeline of diverse, young progressives in office?
Our candidates come from all walks of life – teachers, doctors, activists, environmentalists, stay-at-home dads, librarians, college students – and they represent communities that have been historically excluded or discouraged from running for office. And we are here to encourage them every step of the way.
Your donations will help us reach new candidates and continue this fight for the progressive causes we believe in. Will you chip in $5 before midnight to make sure we have the resources we need to elect diverse, young progressives in office?
