NextGen PAC Endorses Slate of Progressive Candidates in PA

The nation’s largest youth vote organization endorses progressive state candidates in Pennsylvania

Harrisburg, PA – Today, NextGen PAC announced the endorsements of the following candidates. These endorsements are a critical part of NextGen PAC’s efforts to mobilize thousands of young voters across the country in support of progressive candidates in this election cycle and beyond.

NextGen PAC has endorsed the following candidates:

“Young voters are driving the momentum for progressive change, and these candidates embody the bold leadership needed to tackle our generation’s most pressing concerns,” said NextGen PAC President Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez. “From local council members to the U.S. Senate, we are endorsing leaders who are ready to defend democracy, champion bold climate action, and protect reproductive freedoms from extremist threats.”

“NextGen PAC is proud to endorse these progressive candidates for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and State Senate,” NextGen PAC PA State Director Cortney Bouse said. “These candidates have shown that they will continue to stand up for the values and lead on issues that directly impact young people in Pennsylvania. Their commitment to our community and leadership is invaluable, especially at a time when Pennsylvania House Democrats currently hold a majority by a single seat. These endorsements reflect both the communities where we are actively engaged and where it is crucial for Pennsylvania Democrats to win in order to continue to support the youth agenda in the PA state government. NextGen PAC is thrilled to endorse these candidates so they may continue to prioritize the values of Pennsylvania’s young voters in the state.”

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.
