Candidates

We will identify and endorse young, dynamic, diverse, exceptional progressive candidates who are 30 years old and under for State Legislature, and 35 years old and under for Congress.  At least 80% of the candidates we support will be running for State Legislative seats. We value intergenerational coalitions – our aim is not to replace the Democrats who currently stand with us in the fight.

We plan to make our first round of endorsements throughout the second half of 2023. We will be working with activists on the ground and partner organizations to identify the next generation of leaders in open seat primaries.
