New Year, New Start: 100K+ Elections
Happy New Year! 2025 will see over 100,000 elections nationwide. This upcoming slate of races will be far quieter on the federal level, but plenty of action is happening in the states and further down the ballot. This is important when you consider how down-ballot races are often a more immediate lived experience of democracy – think local funding for better streetlights, recycling policy, restaurant taxes, public library upgrades, and more.
From two gubernatorial races happening in Virginia and New Jersey, to mayorship of several major cities (including Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, San Antonio, and New York City), and tens of thousands of local school board races — we are roaring and ready to help Democrats win races up and down the ballot.
That’s why we’d like to invite you to the Jan 20, 2025 special edition of So You Think You Want To Run – moderated by none other than our founder and CEO, Kelly Dietrich.
We’ll be talking about:
- Understanding the steps necessary to run for office
- Explaining best practices for choosing which office to run for
- Identifying what kinds of support you’ll need to run for office
- Sharing your decision to run with your support network
Join us! And if you’re inspired, invite 3 friends online!

Demand Justice
The Senate has a constitutional responsibility to independently weigh nominations and decide whether to confirm nominees. Tell the Senate: You have Constitutionally mandated power. Refuse to obey in advance, and refuse to rubber stamp Trump’s dangerous nominees.
