Ajmeri Hoque is now Ohio’s first Muslim judge. At 21, Akbar Ali is the youngest person elected to Georgia’s General Assembly. The next generation isn’t “up next.” They’re here! 🌟

How it started: In 2022, we endorsed @nateforutah.bsky.social for Utah Senate District 13. He won and showed what fresh leadership can do.
How it’s going: Nate just announced his run for Congress in UT-01. This is what building the bench looks like.

Small elections aren’t small when you flip a whole city council. Rob Andrews, Alli Jackson, and Gianina Horton all won in Aurora and helped turn the tide. Local power is real. 💥

Texas really said “double or nothing,” and our RFS alums took that personally. Now we’ve got two of them in the U.S. Senate race, showing exactly why building the bench matters. Tough moments don’t scare this crew. They dig in. They lead. They rise.

Eli Sabin is out here doing the homework most officials skip. New Haven just approved a zoning overhaul, and he made sure the plan actually centers the people who live there. 🤔 If you want better decisions in your city, be like Eli. Run for office.
