My son who is Gen Z told me if he can do it, he can. So proud of his generation!!

[electrokitcity]

This is the first year my generation was old enough to run for office. So proud and so amazed! Sending blue love from MI! I hope to see more of my peers running for office.

I’m getting to be old but I know we need young blood in our leadership roles. These old politicians have one foot in the grave. What do they care about the future?

[bluetonight]

It is encouraging to be introduced to deep thinking, uncompromised, morally optimistic, smart, talented, well rounded and energetic young people, with integrity and experience, who will replace the self serving and compromised older generation of politicians who have lost their idealism and principals. At the end of the video, at 5:35 / 5:35, the faces of these journalists express genuine respect and optimism for this accomplished, well spoken and astute young man.

The kids continue to impress me!!!! I AM SO PROUD OF YALL!!!! Millennials and gen z are the biggest voting block now. We can have the future we all deserve!!!! It time to fight for each other instead of ourselves!!!! And by fighting I mean legislatively and voting!!!! We got work to do!!!! LETS GO!!!!

[EveryHandleIsTaken]

He seems so polished in his interview-ee skills! It’s like he’s been in office for years and it so used to this!

It's nice to see Fresh Faces. I congratulate the younger people, it's time.

[Deathstar-Cheeseburger]

This is outstanding!! As an elder Millennial, I'm so proud of this next generation. They continue to impress.

[DNGx]

This is HUGE. There may be hope for the democracy after all

[LambertBrady]

Thank God! A young, mentally active, intelligent, enthusiastic, modest, earnest citizen willing to serve as a representative instead of another retiree looking for something to do or an income instead of social security ... at 81 and older!

I am Gen X. I am very happy to see this young man in congress. New blood, fresh ideas. Taking America forward! NOT BACKWARDS!

[mothersgauri]

[donnafarrell]

Yes!!! Time to bring in some young blood!!! He is the future!!!

[AndiDuck]

Generation Z students are on track to become the most educated generation. They have higher high school graduation rates and lower dropout rates than those who came before. In 2018, 57% of 18 to 21-year olds were in college, compared with 52% of Millennials, and 43% of Gen Xers at similar ages.
