In 2013, Marita Garrett ran a successful campaign for Council in Wilkinsburg, PA. After seeing how she could make a direct positive impact on her community, she decided to challenge the status quo again and run for mayor in 2017. In this podcast, Marita talks about winning her elections, the challenges of running, the importance of representation as a young woman of color, and why YOU should run for office too in your area.
