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.
Will you start a monthly gift of $10 right now to help build for the long term? |

Your recurring gift powers the year-round recruitment, training, and support that helps first-time candidates show up, win, and steadily loosen the stranglehold that the old guard has on our politics—whether that’s on the school board, the state house, or city hall.
This victory is bigger than one race. It’s a sign of what’s possible when we bet on new voices and new leaders. Let’s make sure it’s just the beginning.
Thanks for your incredible support. |
