Sara Kurovski, 28, leaned in and ran for mayor of her small town. What would you do if YOU weren’t afraid?

“I am running for Mayor in Pleasant Hill, Iowa, which is a suburb of the capital of Iowa - Des Moines. If I get elected, I will be the first female mayor for Pleasant Hill.

—Sara Kurovski, Pleasant Hill, Iowa.
