Who Will Step Up To Lead? : A Conversation with Run For Something’s Amanda Litman

We have this preconceived notion of who can, and should, be a leader. We need to throw that out the window. According to our guest, President and Co-founder of Run For Something, Amanda Litman, “Party recruitment is the most important thing we can be doing right now.” These are the people who will change the game. The candidates who will connect with the voters and set us on a brighter path. As Amanda says, “We need better people. Anywhere can be competitive, so we need to be fielding candidates everywhere.” And with a track record of bringing us leaders like: Sarah McBride, Molly McMorrow, and Jasmine Crockett…you know Amanda knows what she’s talking about. Join us for some hope and action!
