Still Looking for a Presidential Candidate Who's Truly Likable? Meet Zoe

The presidential race sure could use a dose of cute. And here she is. Zoe is running for the nation's highest office. Or she might be—in 2064. And she is the star of Droga5's new ads for the Y, which communicate that all kids can grow up and change the world if they're nurtured properly and supported along the way. Zoe has her own campaign website, ZoeForPresident.net, where you can donate to her campaign, watch her videos and shop for Zoe merchandise. Donations actually go to you local Y and support the programs and services that help kids like Zoe thrive. "While Zoe for President is a breath of fresh air during a heated campaign cycle, every child, regardless of background, needs support and guidance to reach their full potential," Kevin Washington, president and CEO of YMCA of the USA, said in a statement. "Our campaign will address actual issues that America's communities are faced with each day like access to early childhood education, safe space, meal assistance, and the Y's role in solving the challenges head on." Zoe for President is the second phase of Droga5's "For a better us" campaign for the Y, which we wrote about here. TV spots will air on networks including CNN, HLN, TNT and TBS. Digital work will run on The New York Times, YouTube, Twitter and elsewhere. Of course, Zoe isn't the only presidential candidate that Droga5 is working for. The agency has also been crafting ads during this cycle for Hillary Clinton.
