Since the 2016 election, there's been a surge in interest in running for office from people who were never involved before. Truscha Quatrone, executive director of Emerge NJ, Amanda Litman, co-founder of Run For Something (and Hillary Clinton's former email director for the 2016 presidential campaign), and co-founder of Higher Heights, Kimberly Peeler-Allen, talk about how their organizations help advise and train people to take the leap to run, and the nuts and bolts of running a campaign.
