FRAMINGHAM – Mary Kate Feeney is proud to receive the endorsement of Run for Something (RFS), the groundbreaking organization that recruits and supports strong voices in the next generation of progressive leadership.
“I am honored to be recognized by Run for Something, an organization focused on supporting young, diverse progressives,” said Feeney. “As Framingham emerges in this post-pandemic recovery, we need leaders who know the challenges we face as a community can be addressed by empowering our people, thinking creatively and taking action. Having listened to many of District 3 residents over the summer, it is clear people want change and a Councilor who will hold themself and the city accountable for responding to residents, building a community that reflects all of Framingham and working towards a stronger, progressive future. I am glad to have Run for Something in my corner.”

So far, over 77,000 young people from across the country have signed up to run and gained access to RFS resources.
