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.
We're directing support to these amazing podcast guests who are fighting for us at every level.
Each donation will be split evenly between Run for Something's slate of podcast guests whose campaigns accept donations via ActBlue.
*Note: As we work to build a progressive bench, candidates below may now be running for statewide or federal offices that RFS doesn't focus on. We're encouraging support for those campaigns as part of this celebration - we can't think of a better way to demonstrate what growing and sustaining progressive leadership looks like!
