Congratulations to the next Executive of
Prince George’s County, MD — Aisha Braveboy!
@Braveboy4cex has been a YEO since her election to the Maryland House at age 32. Just as she did as Delegate + State’s Attorney, we know she’ll advance freedom, justice, and democracy as Exec!
ELECTION RESULT 🚨 Democrat Aisha Braveboy has surpassed her Republican opponent in the special election race for Prince George's County Executive, a seat left open after Angela Alsobrooks was elected as Maryland's U.S. Senator in November 2024.
Twenty years of impact — and counting.
Thanks to every young elected leader who filled our #YEO20th Anniversary with love, power, and purpose. We hope you’re recharged, inspired, and ready to resist.
We’ll see you soon!
Wisconsin official @MKE_Chairwoman speaks out against Trump’s assault on their state: “We don’t bow down to tyranny... He’s trying to tell us ‘If you don’t fall in line, I’ll throw you in jail’... We’re here to stay and we’re here to fight.”
After 100 days, two things are clear:
1. Our nation is less safe, secure, prosperous, and free than it was on Day 1.
2. It doesn’t have to be this way.
This AM, young elected leaders addressed America about the real pain being felt and the real progress they’re fighting for.
Iowa State Senator calls out Trump: “Our farmers are facing instability with this trade war... We do not want a dictator. Iowa has no king. We want a president who follows the laws.”
It’s time for a new generation of American leadership.

I will be the youngest woman in the 119th Congress, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I am hyper-focused on delivering results on the issues that matter most to us — housing, reproductive rights, and climate change.
Our Jordan-Huerta fellowship program brings women elected officials together so they can tackle the unique “barriers they face when it comes to doing their jobs,” Raquel Jones, People For's VP of Campaigns and Programs, told @InsidePhilanthr. https://t.co/W5Wr8eweGp
Ran into a hero of mine at the airport.
Mayor of San Antonio at 35. The youngest member of Obama's cabinet. A founding member of the Young Elected Officials Network.
And a genuinely nice, kind dude.
The incredible @JulianCastro
“The best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. [There is] a time and place for new voices, fresh voices, and yes, younger voices. And that time and place is now.”
Deal us in.
Thank you, @POTUS, for a lifetime of service.
