Hey John,

Our candidates and alumni have spent all year making waves by running campaigns focused on affordability, deep community ties, and people-first leadership.

It’s been so effective that even Chuck Schumer issued a directive for Senate Democrats to make affordability their top message.

But the truth is, local issues aren’t one-size-fits-all. They’re shaped by neighborhoods, schools, transit routes, rent prices, and the real lives people are living every day.

So we want to know: What issues are rising to the top where you live? Your answers help our candidates stay grounded in the real problems people are trying to solve every day.

We genuinely read every response and our candidates use this feedback to focus their campaigns on what voters are actually living through.

Thanks for taking a moment to weigh in and for being part of a community that believes local leadership can change everything.

More soon,

Andrea Johnson
Senior Director, Campaigns
Run for Something

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.
