RFS alum @candaceforpdx was elected to Portland City Council in November. 🙌. District 1—long overlooked—finally has a real voice in City Hall. She’s showing up, knocking doors, and rewriting the rules of representation.

Portland's three new councilors elected to District 1 are blazing their own trail. Seven months into their first term, they’re still exploring different ways to reach and represent their constituents.

🚨BIG WIN: RaShon Young just became the first Gen Z Democrat elected to the FL Legislature. Officials left him off sample ballots. Kamala won this seat by 35 pts. RaShon? He crushed the GOP by 50 — a 15-pt swing toward Dems. The future is here. ✊🏾 #RunForSomething

After Trump made Aurora a political pawn, Alli Jackson is fighting back. 💥. This RFS-endorsed city council candidate is taking on racist fear-mongering, demanding affordable housing & leading with DEI. That’s community-first leadership. Via: @jordanzakarin of Progress Report.
