Amanda Litman, president of #RunForSomething, fairly criticized Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin for refusing to release the autopsy that the DNC paid for and that explains why Trump won the 2024 election. She said Ken's actions undermine the trust of voters in a way that will reduce the supporter of voters who should be encouraged to vote for Democratic Party candidates.

I am both excited for and incredibly jealous of New Yorkers who showed the whole world that, yes, voting does matter and it does make a difference.

It is rare to find someone who is *this* dedicated to civic service and willing to enter politics.

Maybe that's you or someone you know?

Amanda Litman: "More than 500 new people signed up with #RunForSomething, to run for office since last night. 2026 will be a great year (for Democrats) to run for office, and it's not too late (just barely!) to get started!"

I think a lot of people slept on the whole Katie Wilson Rebellion in Seattle. She just whacked the sitting Democratic Mayor. From the left. She and her crew TOOK OVER city council. The socialists have not just taken New York. They've taken America's Emerald City as well. She shows you how a person can run on the same socialist policies as Mamdani, but you deliver the message your way, in your style. And win! God, Bezos must be so mad. Sweet. #uspolitics #socialism #democrats #runforsomething #ZohranMamdani https://www.democracynow.org/2025/11/14/headlines/katie_wilson_wins_seattle_mayors_race_after_insurgent_campaign_demanding_affordability

@dzwiedziu There are a lot of honest, civic-minded people making the effort to #RunForSomething . The *least* everybody else can do is go vote. Up and down the ballot. You can also show up on the streets and make them feel supported. Standing for something can be a very lonely and depressing experience. Go make them coffee. If lefties don't vote, we'll have MAGA running the school-boards all over the US. The "stupid American" cliche will be super-charged over the next 20 years. 🧵 @Eetschrijver

Amanda Litman, the president of #RunForSomething, wrote: "It is not a coincidence that some of the best communicators in the Democratic Party right now - Mallory McMorrow, James Talarico, Chi Osse, Nithya Raman, Anna Eskamani, Sarah McBride, and others - are #RunForSomething alum."

Amanda Litman: "Generational change is coming: Since Zohran Mamdani won on Tuesday night, more than 1,100 young people have reached out to #RunForSomething to explore a run for local office -- one of our biggest spikes of the year yet."

Hampton Dellinger Should #RunForSomething

He’s personable, clear, and has an open, friendly face. He’s a great communicator. Like so many thousands of people fired by Trump via the Döugebag Gang, Hampton Dellinger should #RunForSomething

Daniel Tyerman was a Congregationalist missionary to India and several Pacific countries. He reflects on effect of his labors: conversions, and less oppression by impositions and debt.

He wasn’t running for office but preaching the gospel. It had a social justice effect. Today do some look for the gospel as barricade against social change?

How can you review impositions you may be placing on others?

I’ve toyed with the idea of running for local office the past few years, but always found an excuse not to, much like exercise or eating healthy. I finally did the latter two, and signed up with #runforsomething to do the first.

You should too - it’s like eating your veggies, except probably more fun https://www.threads.net/@amandalitm/post/C-V1zXIJ3JW

@catalystcoop Also we miss Steve. 😭 He was our dedicated extrovert.

But thankfully his putting that gift to use running for the Connecticut state house! #RunForSomething #ctpol
