John—
I frickin’ love Halloween. So excited for all of the fun this year. But you know what I don’t love? Uncontested elections!
Here’s the spookiest stat you’ll read this Halloween season: 70% of elections in this country in 2024 were uncontested—and that’s scary AF!1
When voters don’t get a real choice, the same people end up holding onto power and have no incentive to address their constituents’ needs.
Run for Something finds, trains, and supports young, diverse progressives to run for state and local office—building a bench of leaders with real-life experience who’ll fight for their communities and shake up the status quo.

State and local leaders are on the front lines, pushing back against Trump and MAGA Republicans’ attacks on our communities.
But this work isn’t just about defense—it’s about the future. The next generation of Democratic leaders is rising from city halls, school boards, and statehouses across the country—and that’s where you come in.
When you become a monthly donor to Run for Something, here’s what you’re helping make possible:
🤝 Coaching candidates one-on-one through the campaign grind. 🔗 Connecting them with mentors who’ve been there before. 🦾 Mobilizing volunteers so no one has to run alone. 🧩 Partnering with trusted orgs for comms, compliance, and more. 💻 Equipping first-time candidates with pro-level campaign tools.
Please start a monthly gift now that can make all of this and more possible. Your steady support allows us to scale up and recruit more candidates so that fewer races go uncontested. |

Thank you for your support. |
