How we help
Since launching in January 2017, Run for Something has recruited nearly 100,000 people across all 50 states to run for state or local office. We provide a safety net for new and exciting progressive leaders — at all stages of their journey — helping them run efficient, strategic, grassroots, driven campaigns while feeling supported throughout the process. If you don’t take our word for it, hear how we help from Run for Something candidates, partners, mentors, volunteers, and alumni.

Run for Something recruits and supports young, diverse progressives running for local office in the United States. Since launching in January 2017, we have recruited over 100,000 potential political candidates, endorsed over 1,800, and elected more than 600. Over half of those endorsed candidates are women, more than half are BIPOC, and over a quarter are members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Win or lose, our alumni have meaningfully and intentionally made life better for millions of Americans.
