National Run for Office Day is a public demonstration that the most capable leaders are already serving their communities and deserve a seat at the table where decisions are made.
We’re rejecting the false binary between authenticity and professionalism. Your lived experience is not a weakness. It is exactly what makes you qualified to run and lead.
State and local leaders create the policies that impact our day-to-day lives and communities the most — from the curriculum children are taught and the books we have in our libraries to access to health care and the ballot box.
Our elected leaders do not reflect the reality of the American people. Young people, women, LGBTQIA+ people, and people of color are wildly underrepresented in leadership, and until we all have a seat at the table, we won’t realize the future we’re fighting for.
If you’re enraged about how people are treated in this country, if you’re exhausted from not seeing change and ready to do something about it, it is your turn to lead.
Nearly 70% of races on the ballot in 2024 went unopposed or uncontested. The numbers are even more alarming when you zoom in: 91% of regional seats, 82% of county seats, 74% of local seats, and 61% of city seats were uncontested. That means we need leaders like you who are already showing up for your communities now more than ever.
To lead us forward, we need ordinary people to take the extraordinary step of running for office. We must be bold, visible, and authentic without apology.
We don’t have to wait to build something better. This is our moment to step up, grab the mic, and lead. Together, we can build a new future and reshape our democracy — one local office at a time.
