Run for Something announces endorsement of David Morales

Providence, RI: Today, David Morales was endorsed by Run for Something (RFS), a national organization that recruits and supports the next generation of progressive leaders for state and local office. The organization’s slate of newly endorsed candidates includes young, diverse progressives from across the country who are ready to lead in their communities.

“I’m honored to have the support of Run For Something,” said David Morales. “For years, Run For Something has supported young people stepping up to run and lead. They are unafraid to challenge power and embrace bold platforms because they understand that it’s time for a change within the Democratic Party. Each day, our grassroots movement to cap rent increases, invest in our schools, and protect our immigrant neighbors continues to grow.”

“Bold leaders like David Morales are at the forefront of the fight for our rights and freedoms at a time when they have never faced greater threats,” said Amanda Litman, Co-Founder and President of Run for Something. “Run for Something is proud to endorse David as part of our latest class of young leaders working to secure lasting change in their communities.”

About Run for Something:

Amanda Litman and Ross Morales Rocketto launched RFS in January 2017 with a simple premise: to help young, diverse progressives run for state and local offices in order to build a bench for the future. RFS aims to lower the barriers to entry for these candidates by helping them with organization building, connecting them with a robust community, and providing access to the trainings they need to be successful. 

Since its founding, RFS has helped elect over 1,600 candidates across the country — including 43 candidates in red-to-blue seats in the 2025 election cycle. Today, RFS has the largest database of any Democratic organization, with nearly 80,000 people reaching out since November 2024 with interest in running for office. In total, over 250,000 young people from across the country have signed up to run and gained access to RFS’s resources since the organization launched—a powerful signal that a new generation is showing up to lead.
