Run for Something is a political organization focused on expanding the bench of progressive leaders by recruiting and supporting young candidates. It prioritizes individuals under 40 who will advocate for progressive values, with the goal of placing capable voices in offices from state legislatures to mayors and city councils. The organization emphasizes candidate development and practical support to help these young people get on the ballot. Founded in 2017, Run for Something positions itself within the political-advocacy space as a mid-sized organization. Recent developments include partnerships with other groups to expand training and candidate recruitment, such as a 2023 collaboration with Bencodems.
