"This is my second time running for city council and first for District 1 under the new form of government I helped create as a commissioner. With the help of New Power, I can ensure that my campaign has what it needs to be viable. Alex remains an integral part of my team, helping to coach my campaign manager and navigating the process."
"The Foundations course made running for office not only seem possible but, more importantly, empowering. I felt inspired to continue to pursue my passion for school policy by running for my local school board. I like to think Foundations helped me find my voice."
"Working with New Power has been incredibly empowering. Beginning a campaign can be daunting - New Power's early encouragement, support, and strategic advice helped me become the first minority woman to ever run for this seat and win."
"We need servant leaders to answer the call more than ever. They've proven in their past profession that they are willing to step up and serve when times got tough. Well, now times are tough and we need people to step up once again and serve."
"Local campaigns usually don't get the same level of attention and resources as congressional campaigns do, so having New Politics made a big difference with our campaign."

"As a young Black man who did not come from formal politics, I know how complicated it is to navigate this world. I also know how important it is for young people to run and represent their own neighborhoods. I am excited about the New Power Project because with mentorship and opportunity, we can do more than give voice to the voiceless - we can raise these voices to leadership positions."

New Politics is dedicated to recruiting, training, and mentoring the type of leaders who can restore faith and civility to our democracy."

"There's no other organization focused on recruiting and mentoring leaders who put people over politics, regardless of party. The work at New Politics has never been more critical."
