Hey John,

In case you missed it, Run for Something has been everywhere lately!

It's been a hell of a month, and Run for Something candidates are on the front lines of every major political battle — from gun control to abortion and reproductive rights to LGBTQIA+ equality to stopping right-wing takeovers of our schools, and so, so much more.

All of that effort is getting noticed. Check out some of our press hits below to see what all the fuss is about!

Read 'em, but most importantly, share 'em (on Twitter, on Insta, on Facebook, on Discord during game night…wherever you can).

Every person you tell about Run for Something is one more person who is part of the movement. Every. Single. One.

Let's do this,

Ross Morales Rocketto
