Changing The Face of Local Politics in New York
October 16, 2024 – Attorney Michaela Rossettie Azemi is proud to receive the endorsement of Run for Something (RFS), the groundbreaking national organization that recruits and supports strong voices in the next generation of leadership.
“I am honored to receive this endorsement, which reflects our shared vision for a brighter future, and I am more determined than ever to serve our county with fairness and integrity,” said Rossettie Azemi.
The endorsement highlights that as a mother of three, Michaela brings a unique understanding of childhood development to her approach in family court cases, advocating for the well-being of children and survivors of domestic violence. A Steuben County native, she is actively involved in local nonprofit boards and community service, reflecting her deep dedication to the community.
“Run for Something’s latest endorsement class will be instrumental in building a robust Democratic foundation for the future, and the excitement they’ll bring to the campaign trail will boost local turnout and help other candidates up and down the ballot win this November,” RFS co-founder and co-executive director Ross Morales Rocketto added.
The RFS endorsement process includes an extensive internal review with a background check, staff interview and insight from local state experts.
Amanda Litman and Ross Morales Rocketto launched RFS on Jan. 20, 2017 with a simple premise: help young diverse professionals to run for down-ballot races in order to build a bench for the future. RFS aims to lower the barriers to entry for these candidates by helping them with organization building, a robust community, and access to the training needed to be successful. So far, over 150,000 young people from across the country have signed up to run and gained access to RFS resources.
