Run for Something has
always believed that communities are better served by electing diverse young progressives to state and local office — and this election's results show that communities across the country agree.
This election also demonstrates that when Democrats, progressives, organizers, and activists make the investment in state and local races: WE WIN.
Run for Something's strategy works, and our work doesn't start or stop with Election Day. We’re committed to building long-lasting Democratic power from the ground up, and we look forward to continuing in 2023 and beyond.
We've already endorsed 16 candidates running in 2023. The best way to invest in long-term power is by making a monthly contribution of
$5
or whatever you can so we can turn out the same kind of wins in 2023 that we did this year.
Thank you for your hard work, it's truly paying off.
