[/vc_column_text][us_separator size=”small”][vc_column_text]Washington, DC –Future Dems PAC announced its Georgia endorsements for the 2026 cycle, backing first-time candidates and next-generation leaders running in key districts across the state.
As part of its long-term strategy to expand Democratic power in Georgia, the PAC is endorsing the following candidates:
Everton Blair – U.S. House GA-13
Rahul Garabadu – State Senate District 7
Tony Kozycki – U.S. House GA-07
Following the endorsement, the group said its Georgia slate reflects a deliberate investment in the future of the Democratic Party in a state that continues to shape national outcomes, citing demographic growth, generational change, and the importance of sustained engagement beyond presidential cycles. Expanding Democratic power in Georgia requires early investment in leaders who can mobilize emerging voters, build trust, and strengthen party infrastructure for the long term.
At a time when voters are demanding more responsive leadership and clearer direction, Future Dems PAC is focused on elevating candidates who can bring new energy into the Democratic coalition. Georgia remains a high potential state where young voters, voters of color, and working families will determine the future of statewide elections.
Andrea Pringle, President of Future Dems PAC said of the endorsements, “The future of the Democratic Party depends on our willingness to invest early in leaders who reflect the communities they serve and understand what voters are demanding right now. When new voices step forward, turnout increases, the coalition expands, and the party becomes stronger and more durable. That is how we build power that lasts.”
In Georgia’s 13th Congressional District, Everton Blair brings historic leadership as the first person of color and youngest member elected to the Gwinnett County School Board, running on a people-first agenda rooted in his community. In State Senate District 7, Rahul Garabadu brings a background as an ACLU lawyer and civil rights prosecutor, focused on lowering costs, protecting democracy, and standing up for vulnerable communities. And in Georgia’s 7th Congressional District, Tony Kozycki, a Naval Aviator and attorney, is running as a first-time candidate to flip the seat, campaigning on rebuilding the middle class and restoring integrity in government.
In this cycle, Future Dems PAC is backing its Georgia endorsements with direct financial support and strategic resources designed to help first-time candidates build name recognition, mobilize new voters, and compete effectively. Early investment provides emerging leaders with the runway needed to define themselves and build sustainable campaign infrastructure.
Powered by grassroots donors nationwide, Future Dems PAC continues to invest in leadership pipelines, expand participation, and strengthen Democratic power in states that will define the party’s future.

It is about building durable power by making the strategic choice to invest early in first-time candidates with fresh ideas, deep community roots, and the courage to lead.”

PAC Announces Texas Endorsements, Investing Early in First-Time Leaders to Expand Democratic Power
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
Investments signal a commitment to elevating next-generation leadership and strengthening durable Democratic infrastructure in one of the nation’s most consequential states.
[/vc_column_text][us_separator size=”small”][vc_column_text]Washington, DC –Future Dems PAC announced its Texas endorsements for the 2026 cycle, backing first-time candidates and next-generation leaders running for State House and U.S. House in key districts across the state.
As part of its long-term strategy to expand Democratic power in the Lone Star state, the PAC is endorsing the following candidates:
Tyler Smith – Texas State House District 138
Evan Hunt – U.S. House CD-3
Dr. Frederick Haynes – U.S. House CD-30
Following the endorsement, the group said its Texas slate reflects a deliberate investment in the future of the Democratic Party in one of the most consequential states in the country, citing the state’s demographic growth, generational change, and ongoing political realignment. The group said expanding Democratic majorities here requires early investment in new leaders who can mobilize emerging voters and strengthen party infrastructure for the long term. Durable majorities are built by expanding the coalition and cultivating leadership, not by waiting for perfect conditions.
At a time when voters are questioning institutions and demanding clearer leadership, Future Dems PAC will be focused on elevating candidates best positioned to rebuild trust and bring new energy into the Democratic coalition. Texas remains one of the largest under-participation states in the country, where millions of young voters, voters of color, and working families have the power to reshape statewide outcomes if meaningfully engaged.
Andrea Pringle, President of Future Dems PAC said of the endorsements, “Voters are tired of politics that feels disconnected from their daily lives and leadership that looks and sounds the same cycle after cycle. When new voices step forward, turnout grows, the tent expands, and trust is rebuilt. That is not symbolic. It is how we win. And it is not just about one election. It is about building durable power by making the strategic choice to invest early in first-time candidates with fresh ideas, deep community roots, and the courage to lead.”
In State House District 138, Tyler Smith represents a new generation of local leadership in a rapidly evolving district where demographic change and grassroots organizing can reshape the political landscape. In Congressional District 3, Evan Hunt brings service-driven leadership capable of competing in fast-growing suburban terrain central to statewide competitiveness. And in Congressional District 30, Dr. Frederick Haynes offers trusted community leadership in a district where turnout, representation, and coalition building are inseparable from broader Democratic success in Texas.
In this cycle, Future Dems PAC is backing its Texas endorsements with direct financial support and strategic resources designed to help first-time contenders build name recognition, mobilize new voters, and compete effectively in challenging environments. Early investment gives emerging leaders the runway they need to define themselves, build credibility, and grow sustainable campaign infrastructure.
Powered by thousands of grassroots donors across the country, Future Dems PAC reflects a base that believes the Democratic Party must evolve to meet this moment. The Texas slate signals a long-term commitment to cultivating leadership pipelines, expanding participation, and strengthening Democratic power in a state that will help define the party’s future.
