Hillary Clinton: Happy National Run for Office Day!

Last week, we saw an incredible slate of Democratic candidates win local and statewide elections -- including those who helped turn both chambers of the Virginia state legislature blue for the first time in a decade. But while we've made strides to take back seats like these over the last few years, we're still behind.
Today, on National Run for Office Day, one Onward Together partner has a simple solution: Recruit an entirely new class of young, progressive first-time candidates to run for seats on city councils, school boards, state legislatures, and more.
Running for office is one of the most powerful ways that you can work with the people in your community to come up with real, meaningful solutions to the problems we all face. It's also one of the most rewarding things you'll ever do -- I should know. And when more Democrats run, we all win. In just three years, Run for Something has elected 297 people across 45 states, and supported thousands of candidates whose turnout efforts boosted voter participation up and down the ballot.
