Hi there --
Running for office is not easy. It takes a lot for something to make the decision to drop everything and step up to lead...
So why do people do it? Read a few of our candidates’ stories...
The deeply empathetic Missourian who wants to help folks like him:
My life is representative of so many. Poor, but politically aware, and a genuine desire to help others. I want to help make change at a local and national level, and make sure no American has to suffer just for being alive.
A high school civics teacher from Arizona who wants to practice what he preaches:
I am currently teaching high school Civics and Government classes. Part of my instruction has been to encourage my students to take an active role in government, as they are all future voters, and I believe I need to practice what I preach to them. I have America’s youth in my class, made up of different genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, etc. and I want to continue to be an advocate for all of them.
And finally, a badass Wisconsinite with the will to lead:
I want to do something that matters. We need more strong women in politics. All I need is a little direction, I have the will.
Every time you chip in, you’re empowering these young people to make a difference. This would not be possible without the $1, $5, or $25 we get from this team -- yes, a single dollar really does make a difference.
Will you make a donation right now so we can continue this work?
Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Amanda
