Since Zohran Mamdani’s primary win in the NYC Mayoral race against establishment candidate Andrew Cuomo, 10,000! People!! Under 40!!! Have signed up with Run For Something, an org that helps young, diverse, progressive candidates run for local office. I talked to their co-founder and President Amanda Litman about:
Why the establishment Democratic party’s bark is WAY worse than its bite
Why Mamdani’s win was such an inspiration for young people to run
The DNC’s gerontocracy problem: why people hold on to power for so long, and why we keep electing them
Why running is annoying and you should do it anyway (if you’re into it!)
Get a copy of Amanda’s book When We’re in Charge: the Next Generation’s Guide to Leadership here*. And of course, don’t forget to run for something.
