John—
Zohran Mamdani just made history.
At 34 years old, he’s now the next mayor of New York City—living proof that when young people show up, organize, and fight for their communities, they can change the system from the inside out.
Mamdani’s campaign didn’t just win an election. It ignited a movement. In the two weeks after his primary victory this summer, more than 10,000 people signed up with Run for Something to explore running for office, one of our largest recruitment surges in our history.
That’s what this moment represents: young, diverse progressives are done waiting their turn. They’re taking the reins and offering a bold, new vision for what leadership looks like. Now it’s on us to keep the momentum going.
Zohran Mamdani inspired people to show up and run themselves. They’re not all ideologically aligned—rather, they all share the same deep love for community, for getting things done, and for authentically and genuinely (and joyfully!) communicating with their neighbors. We’re going to help them all run and win.
