A new generation, organized.
Elect the
future.
Next Gen Dems finds and backs the next generation of progressive candidates — the leaders who can carry the party into a realistic future, starting on the ground floor of their campaigns.
We champion the next generation of progressive candidates who can lead the party into a realistic future — people of all backgrounds, ages, and qualifications who personify the change our cause demands.
We search across America, and right here at home in Kentucky, for leaders who care more about tangible, realistic, inspiring goals than catchy slogans and the same tired rhetoric. The future requires new thinkers, new listeners, and new values — and that all starts with the next generation.
We back leaders on the ground floor
Find the leaders
We mine the country — and our home state of Kentucky — for genuine people who care about the issues of those they seek to represent.
Back them early
We support candidates on the ground floor of their campaigns and help jumpstart their movements — when it matters most.
Power the change
We bring the organizing energy of a generation to challenge establishment leadership at the local and federal level.
"There is no template to follow, no model to copy, and no mold that could fit the herculean task ahead of us."
Candidates who refuse the status quo
Not satisfied with establishment politics
The leaders who are done with the decades of politics we've been stuck with — and ready to build something better.
Focused on real, tangible change
Inspiring, realistic goals that improve people's lives — not catchy slogans and the same ineffective rhetoric.
New thinkers, new listeners, new values
Dedicated, innovative people of every background who can see the future our party needs and know how to build it.
It starts with the next generation
