Physicians Should Run for Office: Amanda Litman on 2026


Listen Later

First released as audio only. Re-edited and now available in video and audio.

In this episode of the Visible Voices Podcast, I speak with Amanda Litman, co-founder and president of Run for Something. Co-founded in 2017 with Ross Morales Roquetteau, Run for Something is a multimillion-dollar political organization that recruits and supports millennials and Gen Z leaders running for local and state office. To date, the organization has helped elect over 1,650 candidates across all 50 states.

We talk about the specific elected positions where healthcare expertise has direct policy impact, including hospital boards, school boards, library boards, state legislatures, and coroner seats. Amanda shares the three questions every candidate must be able to answer, how Run for Something supports candidates from sign-up through election day, and why local office — not Congress — is where community health gets decided.
