From gun violence to the skyrocketing cost of living to the ongoing threat
to our democracy, our leaders haven’t been making progress on the issues
that are top of mind for young people.
That's where Leaders We Deserve comes in,
John.
Founded by David Hogg and Kevin Lata, Leaders We Deserve is a
grassroots-powered organization working hard to elect young progressives
to Congress and state legislatures across the country.
And recently they announced a slate of new candidate endorsements spanning
12 candidates across 10 states.
We’ll explain more about the candidates below, but if you don’t have the
time to read and still want to make an impact, [ [link removed] ]please consider pitching
in $20.24 today to be split among these 12 fantastic young leaders.
In battleground state Arizona, first-generation American and Rhodes
Scholar Oscar De Los Santos played a pivotal role in the fight to repeal
the state’s cruel abortion ban. He needs and deserves our help to win
re-election later this year.
In Tennessee, reproductive rights champion Allie Phillips and immigrant
rights advocate and first-generation American Luis Mata are going to be
critical additions to the state legislature.
In Texas, ER nurse Molly Cook will continue to be a powerful force
advocating for reproductive rights and public transit in the State Senate.
She recently won a special election to serve out the remainder of the
current term, but she’ll need to be re-elected to a full term in November!
In Florida, climate advocate Nate Douglas will make sure young folks’
priorities are front and center, along with Bryce Berry and Ashwin
Ramaswami in neighboring Georgia. And in North Carolina, non-profit leader
and former National Guard Captain Dante Pittman will do the same.
In Ohio, Christine Cockley is running for the State House. She’s
determined to make housing and childcare more affordable and keep our
communities safe from gun violence — along with Anna Thomas in nearby
Pennsylvania.
In Montana, Anja Wookey-Huffman is also laser-focused on reducing housing
costs. As a born-and-raised Montanan who worked in Bozeman restaurants to
fund her way through college and pay the bills, she personally understands
the challenges young people are facing today.
And last but certainly not least, in Delaware, Sarah McBride has the
chance to make history as the first openly trans member of the US
Congress. She’s a badass state senator who’s been the driving force behind
a slew of incredible bills, and she’s ready to take the fight to
Washington next.
John, we owe
it to ourselves to help elect the leaders we deserve. That's why we're
aiming to ensure we help elect all 12 of these fantastic young candidates
for office, but they can't do it without your support.

amazing candidates in November.
