John, this is a
difficult moment for our country. There is no way around that. But there
is a solution:

Electing a new generation of bold progressives, young leaders who aren’t
afraid to fight back and do the work of building a better future for all
of us.

Akbar Ali (GA HD-106 – Atlanta)
Akbar Ali, 21, is a small business owner, KSU graduate, and First Vice
Chair of the Gwinnett County Democratic Party running for Georgia’s 106th
State House District. A lifelong community leader, he’s organized student
marches, served on the Citizens Transit Advisory Board, and stayed active
with PTAs, the Gwinnett NAACP, and grassroots groups. Akbar’s campaign
focuses on lowering costs for families, protecting public schools, and
defending constitutional rights. Endorsed by outgoing Rep. Shelly
Hutchinson and others, he would be the youngest member of the Georgia
General Assembly if elected.

Donavan McKinney (MI-13 – Detroit)
Donavan McKinney is a lifelong Detroiter, husband, and father of two who
rose from poverty in northeast Detroit to become the first in his family
to graduate college. Now serving in the Michigan State House, he has
championed clean water, affordable utilities, and free pre-K, while
leading efforts to secure hundreds of millions for schools, rec centers,
and lead pipe replacement. A longtime advocate for environmental justice,
he played a key role on Governor Whitmer’s Environmental Justice Council
and helped launch the state’s first community violence intervention
program. McKinney is committed to bold progressive change, from criminal
justice reform to strengthening workers’ rights, always centering the
needs of Michigan’s poorest district.

Christian Menefee (TX-18 – Houston)
Christian Menefee, the son of two military parents and a product of
Houston public schools, made history in 2020 as the youngest and first
Black person elected Harris County Attorney. He has taken on Donald Trump
and Governor Greg Abbott in court — and won — defending voting rights,
reproductive freedom, healthcare, and clean air and water. Leading a
300-person public law office in the nation’s third-largest county, Menefee
has proven himself a fighter for working families and democracy. Now, he’s
ready to bring that same record of bold leadership and results to
Congress.

Randy Villegas (CA-22 – Bakersfield)
Randy Villegas is running for Congress in California’s 22nd Congressional
District. An educator, auto repair shop owner, and a proud son of Mexican
immigrants, Randy is running to serve his home — California's Central
Valley. He grew up on Medicaid, food assistance, and school lunches; the
very programs Republicans like David Valadao have gutted. While his
opponents are raking in big money from the very corporations ripping us
off, Randy is refusing corporate checks. His mom used to tell him, "Tell
me who you're with, and I'll tell you who you are." Randy is with the
people, fighting to lower costs, deliver Medicare for All, and protect the
rights of his neighbors in the Valley.

John, I’m pumped about these
candidates — and I know you will be, too, once you get to know them and
what they are all about. They are the epitome of the kinds of young
leaders we need fighting for us in state legislatures and Congress.
