Director, Talent and Learning & Development
Nov 2025 — Present
Run For Something offers 4 day work week and all of our positions are fully remote across the US.The American political system is not reflective of the American people. It’s no secret that barriers have been created to exclude and marginalize certain communities from being the decision makers in government. We especially see this at the state and local levels. When elected officials don’t reflect the people they represent, it undermines the power of people and our democracy. Run for Something (RFS) is changing what leadership looks like in America by building one of the largest candidate pipelines in progressive politics and bringing those young people into public service.Run for Something recruits and supports young, diverse progressives to run for down-ballot races to build long-term sustainable power in all 50 states. Since launching in January 2017, Run for Something has recruited nearly over people across all 50 states to run for state or local office. Once elected, RFS alumni have transformed state and local governments, making housing more affordable and education more equitable. They are the present and future leaders of the Democratic Party and the country.
