On Wednesday, June 25, People First is hosting a webinar for anyone who’s ever wondered how digital influence can lead to real-world leadership.
We’re asking the big questions: Can influencers run for office? Should they? What obstacles will they face, and how will they push forward?
This upcoming webinar, Influencer to Office, brings together a cohort of expert panelists. Leaders from Run for Something and Annie’s list will be present, as well as influencers who’ve already run for office. . Together, we’ll unpack what campaigning looks like for those who’ve yet to consider it.
Featured Panelists
This month’s webinar brings together voices from across the country who are moving from content creation to community transformation:
- Tessa Kaneene: Campaign strategist and political coach with experience in supporting candidates stepping into leadership for the first time

- Ana Ramón: Senior leader at Annie’s List focused on recruiting and supporting progressive women in public office
- Kandice Harris: Organizer with Run for Something working to elect a new generation of leaders
Each of our selected panelists brings a unique and valuable perspective on digital advocacy and real political power.
