American progressive political organization
Run for Something is a progressive American political organization dedicated to recruiting and supporting young candidates running for down-ballot office. Its mission is to get young progressive candidates from non-traditional backgrounds to run for and win state and local offices , and create a next generation slate of political candidates that will seek higher office in the future.[1]
It was founded on January 20, 2017 — the day of the inauguration of Donald Trump as president — by Amanda Litman, the email director of Hillary Clinton's 2016 U.S. presidential campaign , and Ross Morales Rocketto, a veteran of political campaigns.[2] [3]
In May 2017, political action organization Onward Together , founded by Clinton, selected Run for Something as one of its three primary partner organizations.[4] 2017 Virginia elections , Run for Something-endorsed candidates won more than 40 percent of their races, almost four times the average for first-time candidates.[5]
National Run for Office Day, to occur annually one week after Election Day , was created by Run for Something in 2017 to encourage more young progressives to run for office.[6]
