FYI, @runforsomething is already (and has been for the last year) aggressively recruiting for state leg candidates in MS & LA, and local candidates in those states + everywhere else there are elections next year. We're not leaving this shit up for grabs.
2027 will also be an early opportunity for Dems to show they are serious about investing in the South. The only gubernatorial elections taking place next year are in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Kentucky.

The results are in, and we've got receipts. 250 winners and counting. 104 first-time candidates. 74 flipped seats. From flipping seats to electing the next generation of progressive leaders, RFS candidates showed what's possible when we invest in local races. See the wins for yourself: bit.ly/4An1sB0

Service doesn’t always end when the uniform comes off. This election cycle, Run for Something endorsed 30 veterans who continued their commitment to serving their communities by running for office. This Veterans Day, we honor all who’ve served and continue to lead.
