There's groups like Run for Something that recruit progressives to run for state and local office
A surprising number of potentially winnable seats are never contested. Let's show up anywhere and everywhere to fight back
If you're worried about Republicans messing with elections themselves, you also have the power to help there too by running for state and local offices. Elections - even for federal positions - are run by state and local officals not by the federal government
I should note the organization I meantioned earlier (Run for Something) offers support both for general elections and to people trying to primary incumbent Dems too
Don't have to do it without support or guidance!
True. Actually, I did look into it a little before primary season because I got a couple blind texts asking if I'd be interested in running, for some reason. I ignored them since I did not have time with a newborn at home. I have no reason to think they were scams, but I thought it was interesting since my previous registered address didn't have that. I might get more involved in a few years.
