Dear John, Young leaders are stepping up. They are hungry to govern better. They choose collaboration over conflict. And they’re casting a positive vision for the future.
In 2023, Millennial Action Project’s “On the Rise” video series highlights Gen Z and Millennial legislators who are transcending political polarization. We hope you will be inspired by their stories.
We’ll share new profiles each month leading up to MAP’s 10th anniversary later this year. |
Lifting up examples of solutions-oriented young legislators is key to building a healthier democracy. In the second profile of the series, meet Rep. Daniel Pae (R-OK) – a committed member of the Oklahoma Future Caucus and the Republican co-chair of MAP's national, bipartisan Criminal Justice Reform Advisory Council. Since being elected at the age of 23, he has been a key player in several bipartisan bills and initiatives in his state centering around criminal justice reform, harm reduction, anti-hunger initiatives, school safety, and more. His crosspartisan leadership is a model for others to follow.
Read Rep. Pae’s profile to learn more on his decision to run for office, his advice to young leaders, and the policy areas where he sees both parties can work together. |
