John, a couple
weeks ago, we asked:
What’s keeping young people from running for office?
You didn’t hold back. Some of the biggest barriers that this team cited
were:
❌ Money: Without the resources of incumbents and traditional politicians,
young candidates struggle to gain traction when they run for office.
❌ Credibility: Young people aren’t taken seriously by older voters or the
political establishment. Most often, young candidates are discounted and
ignored.
❌ Access/Knowledge: New candidates lack the mentorship, information, and
infrastructure they need to build effective campaigns in competitive
races.
Too many young people feel like they don’t have what it takes — not
because they aren’t qualified, but because the system is rigged to
preserve the status quo.
These are real barriers. And they’re keeping some of the best potential
leaders on the sidelines.
So here’s what Leaders We Deserve is doing to tear that sh*t down:
✅ We invest BIG in our candidates — sometimes we’re their top donor.
✅ We train and support them hands-on, every step of the way.
✅ We build their credibility — David literally knocks doors with them,
talking to voters in their districts about why our young candidates are
ready for the job.
But here’s the deal: This kind of grassroots, people-powered work takes
serious resources. And we’re doing it all without a dime of corporate
cash.
If you believe in young leaders, if you’re fired up to change who gets to
run — and win — we need you with us. [ [link removed] ]John,
