If you want better senators in 2032, start by electing better city councilors in 2026. Amanda Litman (Run for Something) joins Everybody Gets Pie to lay out a practical path to a deeper Democratic bench, why renters should run, and how local reforms can make elections more competitive.

What we cover:
• Why competitive districts have declined and incumbency has hardened
• How proportional representation and ranked choice voting can improve representation
• The $50M Battle Up plan to recruit Gen Z and millennial candidates
• Why renters in office change the housing debate
• States to watch: Texas, Florida, Utah, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, Ohio, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Iowa
• Term limits, public financing, and paying local officials
• Authentic messaging and winning where you live
