Dear John

The Young Democrats of America, Voters of Tomorrow, and the DNC Youth Council are thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity to hear directly from candidates running for DNC Vice Chair At-Large!

Young voters are a powerful force in shaping our democracy, yet our voices are underrepresented in the upper echelons of the Democratic Party. Currently, there are no at-large DNC appointments under the age of 40—a stark reminder of the work we still need to do to amplify youth leadership.

That’s why we’re hosting this Vice Chair At-Large Candidate Forum to ensure young voters have a seat at the table. This forum will feature Vice Chair At-Large candidates who’ve secured at least 40 signatures, providing them the platform to share their visions for the future of the Democratic Party. This is your chance to engage directly with the leaders who could play a pivotal role in shaping our shared future.
DNC Vice Chair Youth Forum We are proud to host DNC Vice Chair candidates for a first-of-its-kind youth forum for Democratic Party Vice Chair candidates. Eastern & Southern Candidates: January 21st, 7 PM E.T. Western & Midwestern Candidates: January 22nd, 5:30 PM P.T. While candidates will be split by regions, both forums are intended to serve a national audience. Moderated by: Eve Levenson (Night 1) Former Harris-Walz National Youth Engagement Director Joshua Rush (Night 2) Former Young Democrats of America Communications Director Watch Live at YDA.org/Forum Logos at the bottom: Young Democrats of America Youth Council Voters of Tomorrow
