Because running for local office shouldn’t require a political science degree or a trust fund
Picture this: You’re sitting in another city council meeting, watching decisions get made that directly affect your neighborhood, your kids’ schools, your daily commute. You have ideas—real solutions that could make a difference. But when you think about actually running for office, the whole process feels like it’s designed to keep people like you out.
The paperwork. The fundraising. The websites that cost more than your monthly rent. The consultants speaking in acronyms you’ve never heard. It’s enough to make anyone throw in the towel before they’ve even started.
We felt that frustration too. That’s why we built RunTogether.
The Problem: Local Democracy Has a Gatekeeping Problem
Here’s the reality: Over 500,000 elected offices exist across America, yet most operate with little to no campaign infrastructure. Running for local office—where you can genuinely improve people’s daily lives—has become unnecessarily complicated and expensive. The system favors those with existing political connections, deep pockets, or insider knowledge of how campaigns “should” work.
Meanwhile, the voices we need most in local government—teachers, small business owners, working parents, community organizers—are left on the sidelines, convinced they don’t have what it takes to run.
That’s not democracy. That’s gatekeeping.
Our Solution: Campaign Tools That Actually Work for Real People
RunTogether changes everything. We’ve built the first all-in-one platform specifically designed for local candidates who don’t have a campaign manager on speed dial or a Rolodex full of political consultants.
Here’s what makes us different:
Start Strong in Minutes, Not Months Our AI-guided campaign planner gets you from “I’m thinking about running” to “I have a real campaign” in under 15 minutes. No political experience required.
Build Your Platform with Confidence Our platform builder helps you articulate what you stand for in clear, compelling language that resonates with voters—not political insiders.
Look Professional Without the Professional Price Tag Generate campaign branding, launch a professional website, and create campaign materials that look like they came from a high-end consultant. Because they did—we just made it accessible.
From Digital to Doorstep Campaign websites are just the beginning. RunTogether helps you design, print, and distribute yard signs, mailers, and door hangers that get your message directly into voters’ hands.
The best part? Our core tools—the campaign planner, platform builder, and AI campaign manager—are completely free. No catch. No hidden fees. Just the tools you need to run on your terms.
More Than a Platform: We’re Building a Movement
RunTogether isn’t just changing how individual campaigns work—we’re changing who gets to run them. Every teacher who’s frustrated with education policy, every small business owner who knows how to create jobs, every parent who wants safer streets for their kids—they all belong in local government.
We’re not just democratizing campaign tools; we’re democratizing democracy itself.
Your Community Needs Your Voice
The truth is, local elections are where your vote—and your voice—matter most. City council members decide where stop signs go and how tax dollars get spent. School board members shape your children’s education. These aren’t abstract policy decisions; they’re the choices that affect your daily life.
But here’s what most people don’t realize: many of these races are decided by just a few hundred votes. Sometimes fewer. Your neighbors are hungry for authentic candidates who understand their struggles because they share them.
That’s where you come in.
