Episode Synopsis

So you’re thinking about how to connect young people interested in running for office with the resources and community they need to win. What’s your first step?
For Amanda Litman, a veteran of the Obama campaign, the first step was to put up a website looking for people interested in running for local office. What the response was greater than she could have ever imagined, she and a friend recruited volunteers and got to work helping thousands of young candidates navigate how to file, how to run a campaign, and how to win.
