NextGen PAC mobilized thousands of young voters to elect progressive candidates

Lansing, MI – NextGen PAC extends congratulations to Senator-elect Elissa Slotkin, incumbents Rashida Tlaib and Hillary Scholten, Kristen McDonald Rivet, Kyra Harris Bolden, Tonya Myers Phillips, Mai Xiong, Donavan McKinney, and Regina Weisson on their victories. NextGen PAC endorsed these candidates earlier this year as a key part of ensuring that Michigan remains just, equitable, and democratic for the future. NextGen PAC applauds their continued commitment to climate action, protecting abortion access and care, and fighting for economic equality for all Michiganders.

“NextGen PAC congratulates Elissa Slotkin, Rashida Tlaib, Hillary Scholten, and Kristen McDonald Rivet, Kyra Harris Bolden, Tonya Myers Phillips, Mai Xiong, Donavan McKinney, and Regina Weisson on their victories and applaud their commitment to young people in Michigan,” NextGen PAC President and Executive Director Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez said. “As the largest, most diverse generation in American history, we are committed to creating a future that reflects us, represents us, and respects us, and Michigan is a critical state in our fight for this future. With these leaders representing Michigan, young people have proven advocates for our rights and leaders who believe in our movement for change.”

To help secure these wins, NextGen PAC engaged organizers in communities and on campuses across Michigan to ensure young people are ready to turn out for Democrats up and down the ballot this election cycle.
