John, they tried to wipe out public service. It backfired.
When Trump’s administration fired thousands of federal workers earlier this year, the message was clear: Servants of the people weren’t welcome.
But instead of backing down, hundreds decided to run toward public service — by running for office.
In just three days, over 1,000 people signed up with Run for Something to explore local runs. Veterans, educators, policy experts — public servants who got cut loose and chose to fight back.
We don’t recruit for federal office, but we couldn’t help loving this quote from Shernice Mundell — a laid-off worker from the Office of Personnel Management, now eyeing a run for Congress in Maryland: |
|
“I’ve always wanted to do it, but I never had a reason. Once I was fired, I said, maybe this is God’s way of telling me I should run for something.” |
|
We’re helping hundreds like Shernice turn pain into power — giving them training, 1:1 coaching, digital tools, and a community that believes in them.
This isn’t about revenge. It’s about rebuilding public trust, restoring leadership, and making sure no one like Shernice ever gets pushed out of service again.

Thanks for standing with them. And with us!
