Hi John,
Today, we've got 271 Run for Something candidates on the ballot -- I'll go through some highlights on the podcast.
You can still help them get out the vote, too! Find volunteer opportunities here.
Then on the podcast, I speak with
Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett -- a public defender and private practice lawyer we supported in 2020.
After realizing her limited capacity to fight systemic injustices case-by-case as a lawyer in the courts, Jasmine decided to take the fight for justice to the source: the state legislature. And it's a good thing she won in 2020 -- because she's been fighting from day one to protect Texans' freedom to vote from unprecedented attacks, defying the pressure as a new legislator to stay behind the scenes.
Tune in this week to learn how Jasmine went from fighting injustices as a lawyer in court to how she helped organize one of the most important walkouts to protect the freedom to vote.

For the last year, we've introduced you to Run for Something candidates (and newly elected public servants!) on our weekly podcast: They're parents, scientists, teachers, refugees, artists, veterans, and more, of all races and ethnicities — the one thing they all share is their commitment to solving problems in their communities.
