John,

Back in 1974, in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal and President
Nixon’s resignation, an unprecedented wave of young Democrats swept into
Congress. They were called the Watergate Babies — first‑time elected
leaders who helped reshape how Washington worked.

The Watergate babies broke the grip of entrenched power structures in the
House, challenged the seniority system that protected the status quo, and
pushed for transparency and accountability. And they made real progress.

They fought to clean up the corruption that had become too normal (think:
the opaque campaign cash, the back‑room deals, hundred-dollar bills in
brown paper bags) and helped usher in reforms that gave power back to the
people. One of the landmark outcomes of that era was the overhaul of
campaign finance law in 1974, putting real limits and enforcement
mechanisms in place through the Federal Election Commission so we could
finally know who was buying influence in our politics and which special
interests were buying out our politicians.

But that fight isn’t finished. And today, we face a new moment of
corruption and chaos — from the corruption normalized by Trump and the
MAGA movement to lawmakers who let corporate bribes dictate their
decisions.

America is due for another wave of Watergate babies who are ready to clean
up the mess that Trump and the MAGA movement will inevitably leave behind.

We need a new generation of young, fierce, unrelenting Democrats — and
that’s exactly what we’re building through our work here at Leaders We
Deserve.
