January 22, 2021 - 11:00 am

Please join us along with Montgomery County Councilmember Craig Rice as we announce the launch of Rise and Run. With at least five open county council seats next election cycle, we have a great opportunity to improve the diversity of our local government. Rise & Run is a community-led initiative to identify, inspire, and train Black leaders to run for public office. Councilmember Rice will share his personal insights on running for office and the rewards of public service. 


Following our kick-off announcement, we will open up registration for Rise & Run's six-month boot camp. Qualified candidates will meet twice a month (virtually) and discuss campaign structure & timeline, fundraising, communications (and more!).  


Thank you,  

David Blair and Kelly Leonard
