Four illustrations of prominent female political figures hang in gold frames on a wall behind Cheyenne Hunt as she looks into a camera and tells her 90,000 TikTok followers about the political news of the day − this day it was about newly named House Speaker Mike Johnson.
The four women on the wall behind her − Vice President Kamala Harris, New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Georgia politician Stacey Abrams − broke barriers before her. She counts them as inspirations in her pursuit of becoming the first Gen Z woman elected to Congress.
“I look at every single one of them as incredible trailblazers and that’s one of the things they all have in common − a lot of firsts and a lot of really bold action,” Hunt told USA TODAY. “That’s who I aspire to be as a candidate and as a representative.”
