What does the next generation of Democratic leadership actually look like?
I sat down with Craig Valdez, Associate Director of National Partnerships at Run for Something, to talk about building political power from the ground up, why local elections matter, the young vs. old debate in the Democratic Party, DSA vs. the establishment, social media mistakes and accountability, and what makes a candidate genuinely authentic.
We also got into the bigger picture: how recruiting and electing strong local candidates today can build the Democratic bench for 2026, 2028, and ultimately the fight over political power heading into 2030.
