During Future Summit, Future Caucus members @kaylayoungforwv and @RepSainz joined @kwelkernbc on @MeetThePress to discuss how the next generation of state lawmakers is reshaping American politics by choosing pragmatism over partisanship.

As we celebrate America’s 250th, meet Cecily, our Gen Alpha Correspondent.

Cecily had a few, hard-hitting questions for Future Caucus lawmakers (the kind that you don’t get from “Fake News”) about the future they’re shaping for kids like her. https://t.co/TphFabdOmx

If you’ve ever picked up Patrick Radden Keefe’s “Empire of Pain” for your summer bookclub, you understand that America’s opioid crisis is a public health emergency.

We have a lighter read for you—meet three lawmakers who are shaping harm reduction: https://t.co/Vb5cxE5Vhe

Creating space for young lawmakers to collaborate and find common ground is at the core of @FutureCaucus.

With Hawaii ranking last in the nation for homeownership among young adults, Hawaii Future Caucus members Rep. Greggor Illagan, D-4, @RepMatsumoto, R-45, and Sen. @TroyHashimoto, D-5, spearheaded a bipartisan effort to help first-time homebuyers—which is now headed to the governor's desk. 👏👏👏

📣 NEW Lawmakers on Lawmakers just dropped!

When @Grossl4KY88 and @Duyfornv sat down together at Future Summit last year, they found themselves comparing notes on the transition to public service.

[Future Caucus @futurecaucus]

In this BRAND NEW Lawmakers on Lawmakers, Reps. @BerryforGA and Angel Roeser share what motivated them to run for office. Spoiler alert: neither of them actually wanted to initially. But both felt called to step up and serve their communities anyway.

[Variety @Variety]

ABC has pulled "The Bachelorette" following domestic violence allegations involving Taylor Frankie Paul.

“In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of ‘The Bachelorette’ at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,” the statement from a Disney Entertainment Television spokesperson reads.

Applications for #FutureSummit 2026 are officially open! If you are a Gen Z or millennial state legislator, this is your chance to step away from the pressure of the statehouse and come together to scale your leadership and build your network. 🧵

[Future Caucus @futurecaucus]

A homeschooled Republican and a public-schooled Democrat walk into an education committee… it sounds like the setup for a joke. But when Sen. Löki Tobin (D-AK) and Rep. Justin Ruffridge (R-AK) were chosen to chair an education committee, they were anything but a punchline. 🧵

[Future Caucus @futurecaucus]

In our nation’s smallest state, Senator Tiara Mack (D-RI) is determined to make a big impact. At only 32 years old, she’s already made history as Rhode Island’s first openly queer Black woman elected to the state senate. 🧵

The report’s findings are clear and sobering: Public service has become unsafe, financially unsustainable, and incompatible with family life for far too many capable leaders.

You don’t want to skip this: 🔗 https://t.co/q4EDbb587L

[Future Caucus @futurecaucus]

In true Future Caucus fashion, we don’t just raise the problems. We’re also committed to working toward the solutions, and the report includes 24 recommendations for legislatures and civil society.

[Future Caucus @futurecaucus]

Drawing on candid conversations with 89 state legislators from both parties and 31 states, the report illuminates the human cost—not just to lawmakers, but to the people they represent—of systems that threaten to push out a generation of leaders.
