Hey John,
We talk a lot about building a pipeline of young, diverse progressives ready to lead at every level of government. Here’s what that looks like in real life: |
|
Francesca Hong—a chef, small-business owner, and Run for Something alum—became the first Asian American woman elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 2020. Now, she’s running for Governor. |
|
|
Raising her hand to run for Francesca’s open Assembly seat is Juliana Bennett, a former Madison City Council Alder and another incredible Run for Something endorsee. |
|
|
This is the Run for Something effect in action: young leaders rising through the ranks, using their lived experiences to create real change, and inspiring others to do the same.
This is what sustainable power looks like—and it’s fueled by more than 2,000 people who make affordable monthly donations that help us recruit, train, and support candidates like Juliana and Francesca.
Will you join them today with a monthly donation of $10 or more? Together, we can keep building the bench—and the future. |
|
Why give monthly? Your steady support enables Run for Something to…
🤝 Coach candidates one-on-one through the campaign grind. 🔗 Connect them with mentors who’ve been there before. 🦾 Mobilize volunteers so no one has to run alone. 🧩 Partner with trusted orgs for comms, compliance, and more. 💻 Equip first-time candidates with pro-level campaign tools. |
|
Thank you for your support! |

P.S. You may have heard about our big push to expand the traditional “blue wall” and contest more races in more places. Building a pipeline of candidates like Francesca and Juliana is a big part of that, and we’re so grateful for any support you can provide. |
|
|
|
|
We change the system by changing who’s in it. We start local, build the bench, and shape the future from the bottom up. Together, we’ve already helped win over 1,000 elections.
This work is made possible thanks to thousands of grassroots donors who give a little each month to fuel big change. Become a monthly donor today and help our candidates keep running — and winning. |
