We launched RunForOffice.org last March but it is oh so much more important
now! so flagging it again.

RunForOffice.org is a database where you put in your address and we spit
out every office you are eligible to run for, how to get on the ballot,
descriptions of the office, etc.

We currently cover 85 million Americans (about 50,000 offices) but have SO
much more data to collect. Right now, we are doing a crowdsourcing push to
collect the data for every school board nationally and have that info "go
live" on the site within the next couple months. If you have an hour to
volunteer to this, please reach out! Hugely important and easy to
accomplish in a couple short shifts.

Organizations interested in having their own RunForOffice.org site or
partnering with us to spread this data, please reach out. We have 23
partners right now from Emerge to She Should Run to New American Leaders
Project- it's awesome the work they are doing.

Would love for more people to know that this free resources exists.
Emily
