(16,485 posts)28. Stacey Abrams represents the next Generation of Leaders........
Stacy Abrams, Kamala Harris, Beto O'Rourke, Julian Castro, Cory Booker, Patrick Kennedy III, and others are the next generation of leaders that will keep this country going forward. They bring their youth, their experience, their dreams, their energy for this country.
