John, when you think of Arkansas – do you think of young and progressive candidates running for office? 

If you said no, that’s fair … but we have 15 progressive Run for Something candidates making waves in Arkansas and are ready to change the way the Natural State runs things. 

Arkansas might typically be a red state, but there’s a real hunger for more young, progressive leaders – and we’re delivering.

But transforming the political landscape in states like Arkansas all depends on grassroots supporters like you, John. Will you chip in $5 to our $25,000 fundraising goal now and help us continue to recruit and elect diverse, young progressives across the country?

Here are a few candidates who are poised to make a real difference in their communities come November:

• Gayatri Agnew – making history as the first Asian American woman elected in Arkansas, Gayatri serves Bentonville’s City Council and is helping hard-working families.
• Billy Cook – a dedicated activist from Northwest Arkansas who has been advocating for progressive causes for the past eight years, Billy is serving his community as a State House Representative.
• Garrett Barnes – as Justice of the Peace, Garrett has improved public infrastructure, safety and overall quality of life for folks in the West End and North Jonesboro communities of Arkansas.

We couldn’t be prouder of our candidates – but Arkansas isn’t the only place we’re making change. We’ve got candidates in states across the country preparing for their races this November – and without a doubt, their impact will be felt long after Election Day has come and gone.

Let me be clear, John: Nov. 5 isn't just about the presidential election – it’s about everything else at stake in our state and local communities. Your support today can help our candidates win and continue the fight for progress. So please, donate to our $25,000 goal before midnight to help us keep up the momentum ahead of Election Day.

Every state is worth fighting for, and we hope you’ll consider supporting our mission – thank you.
