What does that mean?
We’re talking about the English teacher who’s forced to rip books off her shelves and hide them in her desk every other week. The tomato farmer who lives in fear of his small family farm falling to Big Ag. Or the ER nurse who, day in and day out, treats some of our more than 5 million uninsured.
That’s who Gen Z wants talking about education, agriculture, and healthcare — not Fortune 500 CEOs, hotshot corporate lawyers, or the guys and gals who’ve lived in the Capitol Building for half their lives.
Thinking of running for office? Feel like your teacher would look great behind the school board podium? Just a BBQ-loving Texan wanting to finally feel represented? No matter who you are, there’s a place for you here at all y’all. I mean, it’s in our name.
