Hi there -- and welcome to the team!

We do a lot here at Run for Something -- we provide mentorship for candidates, help connect them to resources and trainings, introduce volunteers to candidates to help on their campaigns, and so much more.

I can tell you that what we do works: The usual win rate for first-time candidates is 10%, but nearly 40% of our endorsed candidates across the country won their elections. But that's not all, we have over 9,000 volunteers that are making calls, sending texts, and knocking on doors.

We're seeing great results, but we're just getting started -- and if you’re looking for something to do right now, here are three things you can do:

Donate! We can do the work that we do only because of donations from people like you. Even $5 makes a difference -- our average donation is just $27.
Keep up with us on Facebook and Twitter -- that’s where we share inspiring stuff we find on the internet, promote our candidates, and shout about running for office.
Nominate someone you think should run. (Or sign up to run yourself!) We all know that one person who would be a great elected official -- and sometimes all they need is a little push in the right direction.

Run for Something is working to build the bench for the next 30 years, and we could not be prouder of the candidates who won and are on their way to becoming progressive leaders in their communities.

We've been laying the path for more and more people to run and be engaged in campaigns in the years to come. This work matters, the demand is obvious, and we've got a lot of work to do.

I’m so happy you’re in this with us! We’ll be in touch with other opportunities to get involved, so keep an eye out for other emails from us.

Talk soon,

Amanda
