In 2020, RFS endorsed Jennifer Jenkins, and she won a seat on the Brevard County School Board, defeating a co-founder of Moms for Liberty. School board elections can become major political battlegrounds over education and local policy. Want to join?→ bit.ly/Run4what

Renters know the affordability crisis. They’re living it. RFS endorsee Aparna Raj is running on lived experience, and as Amanda Litman told @MarketWatch, many of RFS’s endorsed candidates are running to make their cities more affordable. Have you made your plan to vote?
