Membership: State legislators who are approximately 40 years of age or younger. Future Caucus members are interested in working pragmatically on future-oriented issues and towards a culture of political cooperation. Leadership: At least two Co-Chairs lead each Caucus: one Democrat and one Republican. Co-chairs preside over meetings of the Caucus, provide leadership in advancing Future Caucus initiatives, and are the primary spokespeople for external audiences. State Future Caucus members come together for networking, expert policy discussions, and other leadership development opportunities. Issues: Each Future Caucus focuses on two to three strategic, core issues for their work, while staying open to other policy opportunities that may arise. All legislation the Caucus focuses on must be bipartisan or nonpartisan and future-oriented, having a significant impact on the Millennial generation. Please contact Cherisse Eatmon, State Caucus Network Director, at [email protected] to get involved. 2 | #2019FutureSummit PRESIDENT'S WELCOME Dear Future Summit Attendee, On behalf of the Millennial Action Project, I’d like to formally welcome you to our 2019 Future Summit in Nashville, TN—the largest-ever nonpartisan convening of young state legislators. As my team and I have traveled across the country building our Future Caucus Network, one of the most common questions we hear is, “What’s working in other states?” We designed this summit to answer that question. Over this exciting weekend, you have the opportunity to network with legislators from across the country and from every type of district. You will learn about the most promising future-focused policy ideas on issues ranging from addressing brain drain to improving our democracy. Additionally, you will learn innovative strategies from our leaders and experts to engage the public and generate momentum. Our hope is that you will leave the summit equipped with new ideas to bring home to your legislature; enriched with new, lasting friendships that will support your public service; and energized with a taste of Music City and the power of music to bring people together. You represent the most hopeful story in American politics today. At a time of extreme division, MAP has brought together over eight hundred legislators at both the state and federal levels to disrupt the political status quo and build new consensus on generational issues. You have answered this call to serve, producing extraordinary results. Each time you accelerate breakthrough legislation, host a statewide conference with young leaders, or inspire people to listen with empathy, you generate a powerful ripple effect across your community. Because of those ripples, this movement is actively transforming the political culture of our nation, from contempt to cooperation, at a time when our republic needs it most. MAP is grateful that you have taken the time to join us in Nashville. We are here to be your resource and your platform on this journey to build a nation where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts —captured in the words of our Founders: E Pluribus Unum. My team and I look forward to working alongside each of you during this conference and beyond to strengthen our nation’s experiment in self-government.

This panel will highlight strategies state lawmakers have employed to reverse this trend and encourage young people to lay down roots in their states, including investments in local Opportunity Zones and tailored tax proposals for recent graduates. Democracy Reform: The 2020 Census and Redistricting Daniel Weiner, Brennan Center for Justice Representative Jessica Gonzalez (TX) Representative Kevin Hornberger (MD) In many states, partisan control of the redistricting process has historically conveyed unfair electoral advantages to a single party, resulting in a lack of competition. The recent Supreme Court decision firmly placed control of electoral maps in the hands state legislatures, emphasizing the need for responsible and educated policy making. After the 2020 census, legislators in many states will once again have the opportunity to shape the electoral landscape and the character of our democracy for the next decade. Learn how Millennial lawmakers are taking action to break the cycle of gerrymandering, restore voter confidence in our democracy, and ensure candidates prevail on the quality of their ideas — not just the makeup of their districts.

  • RNC Letter Final with Signatures
    August 16, 2016 An Open Letter to Reince Priebus, Chairman, Republican National Committee In every election cycle, the Republican National Committee (RNC) must make difficult decisions in the closing months about where to allocate its limited resources – money, time, staff, and ads – to ensure the best possible opportunities for the Party’s success. Given the catastrophic impact that Donald Trump’s losing presidential campaign will have on down-ballot Senate and House races, we urge you to immediately suspend all discretionary RNC support for Trump and focus the entirety of the RNC’s available resources on preserving the GOP’s congressional majorities. The signatories to this letter have been involveD with Republican politics at the local, state, and national levels for more than three decades. We have served as past and current elected officials and as staffers for the RNC; appointees in every Republican administration since President Reagan; advisors on the last nine GOP presidential campaigns; aiDes on leadership, personal, and committee staff in both the House and Senate; grassroots workers; and delegates to multiple GOP conventions. We believe that Donald Trump’s divisiveness, recklessness, incompetence, and record- breaking unpopularity risk turning this election into a Democratic landsliDe, and only the immediate shift of all available RNC resources to vulnerable Senate and House races will prevent the GOP from drowning with a Trump-emblazoned anchor around its neck. This should not be a difficult decision, as Donald Trump’s chances of being elected president are evaporating by the day. Since the GOP convention, less than a month ago, he has alienated millions of voters of all parties by: • Attacking Gold Star families of soldiers who died serving their country; • Urging a hostile foreign government to intervene in a U.S.

  • Loser! Failure: Why President Trump's Legal Narratives “Win”
    Astonishingly Excellent Success or Sad! Loser! Failure: Why President Trump’s Legal Narratives “Win” with Some Audiences and “Lose” with Others Cathren Page While President Trump is often called a liar and various commentators have analyzed his rhetorical approach, little has been said about storytelling's role in his wins and losses. Trump’s narratives about legal issues enjoy wild success with his supporters, amuse some critics, and terrify others. Thus far into his presidency, his legal narratives have often failed with courts. With nearly sixty- three million American voters backing Trump, scholars and students of persuasion cannot ignore his successes. However, with over sixty- five million Americans voting against him and various court’s ruling against him, scholars and students of persuasion also cannot ignore his failures. Trump and his team use various effective narrative and rhetorical techniques. These techniques tap into his audiences’ deep frames, their strongly held values and predispositions. However, he has succeeded for reasons other than simply having an audience who liked his message. Although he regularly uses ethically questionable approaches, he also regularly uses certain rhetorical and narrative techniques that scholars and experts recommend. Nonetheless, the Trump team has also committed rhetorical errors. While these errors alienate his critics, the types of errors he commits are also particularly egregious to a judge making a determination in a lawsuit. This article identifies and lists the narrative techniques that the Trump team uses and divides them into the following categories: 1) universally successful techniques, 2) ethically questionable techniques, 3) stylistically controversial techniques, and 4) either carelessly composed or intentionally sloppy statements containing errors.
