Run! My Story of LGBTQ+ Political Power, Equality, and Acceptance in Silicon Valley is a work of non-fiction in the politics, sociocultural issues, and LGBTQIA+ subgenres. It is suitable for the general adult reading audience and was penned by author Ken Yeager Ph.D. to chronicle the interesting events in his life surrounding his political career and years of activism. As the wave of scapegoating and hate continues against gay, queer, trans people, and other marginalized groups, Yeager writes with passion and a wealth of experience on how Americans can get involved in politics to help address and rebalance the scales of fairness and equality – and get real results for the future of their local area.

Representation really matters, and author Ken Yeager writes with a balanced viewpoint that seeks to amplify every voice under the rainbow and ensure that LGBTQIA+ people have a seat at the table when it comes to decision-making for their future. Yeager writes with an inspiring and accessible tone that dedicates a lot of time to well-founded research and clear, calm reasoning, but there’s also a thread of strength, activism, and resistance underpinning everything that really drives his points home. It’s easy to feel outnumbered in a dark world filled with divisive rhetoric, but Yeager’s clear account of his own political and activist successes shows that there are paths back to unity if we’re dedicated and bold enough to take them. Overall, Run! offers a message of hope for anyone interested in true equality, and especially for those thinking of entering office in order to fight for it.
