Amanda Litman is the cofounder and president of Run for Something, which recruits and supports young, diverse leaders running for local office -- since 2017, they’ve launched the careers of thousands of millennials and Gen Z candidates and in the process, changed what leadership looks like in America. She’s also the author of “Run for Something: A Real-Talk Guide to Fixing the System Yourself,” (Atria) a how-to manual for people running for office.

Before launching Run for Something, Amanda worked on multiple presidential and statewide political campaigns. She graduated from Northwestern University and lives in Brooklyn with her husband, two daughters, and their sometimes rowdy dog.
