NextGen PAC Endorses Kirsten Engel for Congress in AZ-6
The nation’s largest youth vote organization endorses Kirsten Engel in Arizona’s 6th District
Phoenix, AZ – Today, NextGen PAC announced the endorsement of Kirsten Engel to represent Arizona’s 6th District. The endorsement of progressive candidates across the country is a critical part of NextGen PAC’s efforts to mobilize thousands of young voters to stand up for their values during this election cycle and beyond.
A strong advocate for reproductive freedom, NextGen PAC trusts Engel to prioritize the values of Arizona’s young voters. As a State Representative, Engel fought Republican attempts to cut education funding, stood up to extremists in the legislature to protect Arizona’s water supply, and led the fight to protect clean energy. NextGen PAC looks forward to her continuing to fight for reproductive freedom and affordable health care as a member of Congress.
“Young people have organized and turned out in record numbers in recent elections, helping our movement achieve huge progressive wins,” NextGen PAC President and Executive Director Cristina Tzinzún Ramirez said. “This year, our fight is no different, and we are determined to show up and use our voices at the ballot box to protect our country from MAGA Republicans who only want to take us back in time. As NextGen PAC mobilizes young voters in Arizona to elect progressive candidates, we know that Kirsten Engel will stand up for young voters’ values. NextGen PAC is thrilled to endorse Engel for Congress so that she may prioritize the values of Arizona’s young voters.”
“NextGen PAC is proud to endorse Kirsten Engel for Congress,” NextGen PAC Arizona State Director Tia Yap said. “Arizona’s upcoming elections are a critical opportunity for us to ensure that young people’s values are represented in our leaders. As a state legislator, Engel has been aligned with our values on reproductive rights, climate justice, and more. As NextGen PAC mobilizes young voters in Arizona to elect progressive candidates, we trust Kirsten Engel to stand up for our values.”
In 2020, NextGen PAC helped mobilize 1 in every 9 young voters who cast a ballot, leading to the largest youth voter turnout in history. In 2024, NextGen PAC is focused on empowering young voters to fight for a better future, this includes endorsing progressive candidates and ballot measures, among other activities.
