YOUTH ENGAGEMENT TOUR

Second Vice Chair Janet Johnson launched the first focus group of the 2023 Youth Engagement Tour. The conversation covered topics like affordable housing, education, healthcare, Queer Rights, the water crisis, and abortion.

The President of the Maricopa Country Young Democrats, Ricardo Serna, and at-large member of the Cartwright Elementary School District Governing Board, Anna Abeytia, expressed the importance of authenticity in elected leaders, candidates, and volunteers.

And two clear takeaways are that partnership and listening will be key to our success in this next election. "When young people get involved, they really get involved, but they need to be (and feel) welcomed," President Serna expressed.

Stay tuned to learn more about the focus group outcomes and the Youth Engagement Tour.
