Time to Run for Something!

On Democracy with FPWellman

It has been a hell of a week…again. The dust is still settling on the election, and we are all watching in shock as Trump selects a complete clown show of a Cabinet. Many are wondering what we can do and how to stop this unfolding train wreck from swallowing us up. We look at how Democrats can do a better job of getting their messages to more Americans and why that’s important as we face 30 states holding local and state elections next year. There are going to be fights to be had to stop his worst efforts too. We will discuss some of those and talk with the Co-Executive Director of ‘Run For Something,’ Ross Morales Rocketto, about how more of us can turn this around. Ross has been a progressive political operative for over 15 years working in campaign management, grassroots organizing, and data/analytics. In 2016, was an advisor at For Our Future. He previously managed Wendy Carrillo for Congress in CA-34 and was a Principal at STG. Rocketto got his start working for former HUD Secretary Julian Castro’s first campaign for Mayor of San Antonio. He is leading RFS as they ride a wave of new candidate recruits wanting to take on saving our democracy.
