John,
This number helps explain a lot about why we need change.
The average American is 38.7 years old. Yet in Congress, it’s a much
different story.
The average House member is 57.5. For the average U.S. Senator? It’s 65.3.
The current president is the oldest ever elected to the office.
It’s no wonder why there’s such a large disconnect between our leaders and
communities.
We need leaders who know what it’s like to face the challenges so many
Americans face daily. Leaders who understand how hard it is to afford
housing, raise a family, pay for child care, or fight off medical debt or
witnessed the first-hand impact of the climate crisis.
That’s why Leaders We Deserve has launched a $20 million fund to primary
ineffective Democratic incumbents — and replace them with young
progressives who will fight day in and day out for the future we deserve.
Change can’t wait, John — and
neither can we. [ [link removed] ]Can you pitch in a $5 contribution to
help replace out-of-touch Democrats with a new generation of progressive
leadership?

Let’s be clear: This isn’t about age. It’s about effectiveness.
We’re not trying to retire every older member of Congress. Many still
continue to deliver for their communities and constituents. But we are
fighting to replace ineffective incumbents with those who are more
interested in solving the issues so many of us face rather than preserving
their power.
Coming off a bruising loss last year, if Democrats want to inspire and
mobilize the next generation, win back voters, and retake power, that
means we need to be giving the next generation a seat at the table.
Leaders We Deserve is playing a pivotal role making this dream a reality.
But they need your help to keep going.
