Young Voters Propel Greg Casar, Jasmine Crockett, Joaquin Castro, and Vicente Gonzalez to Victory

NextGen PAC mobilized thousands of young voters to elect progressive candidates

Austin, TX – Despite losses at the top of the ticket, NextGen PAC extends congratulations to incumbents Greg Casar, Jasmine Crockett, Joaquin Castro, Vicente Gonzalez on their re-elections to Congress. We also congratulate Christian Menefee, Sean Teare, Cassandra Hernandez, Lauren Ashley Simmons, Erin Zwiener, Mihaela Plesa, Molly Cook, and Jose Garza on their victories in statewide races. NextGen PAC endorsed these Texas leaders on key issues for young voters earlier this year as a key part of ensuring that Texas 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 Texans.

“NextGen PAC congratulates Greg Casar, Jasmine Crockett, Joaquin Castro, Vicente Gonzalez, and all our endorsed statewide candidates on their victories and applaud their continued commitment to young people in Texas,” 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 Texas is a critical state in our fight for this future. With these leaders representing Texas, young people in the state have proven advocates for our rights and leaders who believe in our movement for change.”
