In 2018, a record number of Democrats ran for Congress. Come meet the candidates, hear their stories, and learn from their experiences. What is it really like to run for Congress? How did candidates launch their campaigns? Why did the Democratic Party support some candidates and not others? How did running for office affect candidates’ families, finances, and careers? Now you can find out — straight from the candidates themselves. Registration required; no fee. We will be hosting an event in the spring for Republican candidates.
