Both of my sons are close to this age (born 2002 & 2003). This was a pretty good representation of Gen Z in my opinion. Sure, there's Maxwell Frost also & we are seeing more Gen Z run for office.

I think they see this as their way of helping out the greater good. And I'm not saying it's not, if this can bring Gen Z into the fold & begin transforming the party to be inclusive of their generation & something they want to be a part of, that would be for the greater good.
We know they're passionate. We know they have the energy & desire to speak up & speak out. They've been activists for most of their lives. I have always gotten the impression that they're pretty pissed that the adults kept sending them to schools where they were more likely to get shot than just about any other location & nothing has ever been done to stop it.
The more they run for office the more I'm convinced that they've been preparing to take the reigns of power & solve the issues themselves, in their way. The sooner we can understand then, the better that transition will be.
I think, someday when we get through this mess, that when the time comes that Congress is made up of Gen Z & younger, we will see common sense, or more extreme if it keeps being fought against the way it currently is, gun laws. With what these kids grew up with, active shooter drills & many survivors of a mass shooting themselves, they're going to get in there & they will make changes.
I'd much rather work with them now than to continue to resist their participation & input. Just my thinking anyway.
