“You don’t run for office as a 25-year-old because it is your next step in your career or it is the thing you’ve been planning for since you were a kindergartener or a college president. You run because there is a problem that is so fiercely driving you that you can’t imagine doing anything else with your time.”
— Amanda Litman, CEO of Run for Something
