Future Caucus

In our latest Young Lawmakers’ Storybank, Rep. Brandon Woodard, D-Kan., and Rep. Doug Fiefia, R-Utah, share what happened when the national redistricting fight landed in their statehouses. Read the story here: 🔗 futurecaucus.org/lawmakers-hold…

Meanwhile, in Utah, Rep. @DougFiefia, redistricting meant pushing past the national noise surrounding Utah’s maps and focusing on a bigger question: who should shape a state’s districts, and how should that process work?

Some politicians are talking about “beautiful maps.” Others are lawyering up over them. And amidst all the noise around redistricting, state lawmakers are just trying to do their jobs. 🧵

First elected in 2018, Sen. Darius Brown has emerged as a leading voice on criminal justice reform and economic opportunity, helping advance major bipartisan legislation, including the Clean Slate Act and Adult Expungement Reform Act. We appreciate his leadership! 👏

We’re excited for what’s in store for this chapter and can’t wait to see what Brown and Smith accomplish together for the people of Delaware! Join us in congratulating Brown on his co-chair appointment!

📣 Big news from Delaware! Sen. @VoteDariusBrown, D-Wilmington, is joining Rep. Michael Smith, R-Pike Creek Valley, as co-chair of the Delaware Future Caucus, leading a new generation of cross-partisan leadership in the First State.

What does a decades-long friendship between a democratic socialist and a conservative look like? A lot of spirited debate, deep mutual respect, and apparently, a lot of love. Watch Professors @CornelWest and Robert George (@McCormickProf) show us how it's done. #DisagreeBetter. disagreebetter.us

The article highlights how at Future Caucus we’re helping a rising generation of leaders to tackle the issues shaping everyday life for young Americans: maternal health, childcare, housing, AI, workforce development, and more. Read it here: 🔗 therenovator.substack.com/p/lawmakers-fi…

As members of our Prenatal-to-Three Innovation Fellowship, @pilkingtonforar and Hudson spent months researching maternal health, consulting with healthcare providers, policy experts, and families to better understand the gaps in care and what meaningful solutions could look like.

The Gen Z and millennial lawmakers of Future Caucus have an unofficial motto: We got elected to get sh*t done. 🤭 A new feature from The Renovator tells the story of Arkansas Future Caucus co-chairs Rep. @pilkingtonforar (R) and Rep. Ashley Hudson (D), who worked across party lines to tackle their state’s maternal mortality crisis. therenovator.substack.com/p/lawmakers-fi…

That is the work Future Caucus was built to champion: equipping a new generation of lawmakers to bridge divides, lead with courage, and prove that politics can still be a force for dignity, problem-solving, and results.

This year, he tried again. And on April 6, 2026, Gov. @tatereeves signed H.B. 1444 into law. Gibbs’ story is a reminder that meaningful change rarely happens in one dramatic moment. It happens when leaders are willing to listen deeply and build trust.

In 2024, just months into his freshman term, @repjustisgibbs, D-Miss., came to Washington, D.C. to begin his Future Caucus Innovation Fellowship experience. On day one, he shared about a bill he hoped to introduce during his next session.

You heard that right! Arkansas Future Caucus co-chair Sen. @BreanneDavis is Arkansas' incoming Senate President Pro Tempore! 👏👏

“They can stomach the low pay. They can stomach no staff. They can handle even trying to figure out the toxic polarization and transcending that,” @layla_says said. “But political violence was the thing that, when you add it all together, was the decider of: ‘I don’t know if I’m going to run again, I don’t know if this is worth it.’” 19thnews.org/2026/04/politi…

A February report from @futurecaucus found that political violence and threats against lawmakers have become a "serious deterrent" to candidate recruitment and retention "This is a four-alarm fire,” said @layla_says 19thnews.org/2026/04/politi…
