Yes, please! We need younger people running and getting involved. Don’t fall for the apathy and helplessness being shoved at us. (Who does it serve?)

He is launching Leaders We Deserve, a hybrid political action committee backing candidates under 35 years old running for federal office and under 30 years old running for state office.

Personally, I think it would be better if he included more millennials and didn't have such a low cut-off.

    Welcome to being old enough to be thought of as the problem, Millennials. Love, Gen X.

    The problem for Gen X is the worst of us do participate.

    I partially agree, but I think this would be excllent at accelerating the name of younger political rising stars (where others may be hesitant or prefer experienced candidates), which by the time they reach the cutoff, would (in theory) have enough pull on their own to not require this particular PAC to fund them.

    45 and under would be better. Includes all millennials.
