John, today is a
solemn day in America: President Jimmy Carter will be laid to rest after
his funeral. At 100, he was our longest living president – and he proudly
spent the best of his long life working for the common good and helping
people.

President Carter, a peanut farmer from Georgia who rose to the highest
office in the country, will leave a lasting legacy behind him. But today,
I am reminded of something that not a lot of people may know. Carter was
first elected in his 30s.

That’s right: Jimmy Carter became a leader in his community in the 1950s,
serving on county boards that oversaw schools, libraries, and hospitals.
In 1962, at only 38 years old, Carter was elected to the Georgia Senate,
beginning his political career.

[ [link removed] ]Leaders We Deserve exists to elect the young progressive candidates who
will go on to lead this country, just like Jimmy Carter did. If you
support our mission, can you make a $5 contribution today
to help us continue this vital work?

Jimmy Carter was elected Governor of Georgia in 1970. He was elected
President of the United States in 1976. But it all started when he was a
young man with the vision to make his community better and make an impact
on his neighbors’ lives.

I can’t help but think of how many of our most inspiring leaders started
out young:

* FDR was 28 when first elected in NY.
* LBJ was 28 when he was elected to Congress.
* Lincoln was 25 when he was first elected to the IL House.

When we endorse candidates at Leaders We Deserve, these former presidents
are on my mind. Because I firmly believe that one of our candidates will
become president in the next thirty years. But they’ll only get there with
our early support.

[ [link removed] ]John, can
I count on you to donate $5 today and – in honor of Jimmy
Carter, FDR, LBJ, and every other leader who ran for office before they
turned 40 – help us elect the next generation of progressive leaders in
this country?
