Deputy Digital Director

Project 26 is the home for Pennsylvania youth who are ready to challenge the far‑right's attack on our futures and build a Pennsylvania where Gen‑Z can lead and thrive.

In 2025 alone, Trump signed over 200 Executive Orders that have directly impacted millions of Americans and led to:

The loss of basic human rights and the separation of families due to unjust ICE raids

A massive increase in the wealth of the top 1% at the expense of basic healthcare and unbiased public media funding

An economy where tariffs and inflation are so high millions of people are working multiple jobs and still can’t pay their bills

Widespread feelings of hopelessness and outrage amongst young voters

The outcome of Pennsylvania’s 2026 elections will determine the balance of power in the House which will influence the make‑up of Congress, as some of the most competitive congressional races will happen in our backyard. Which will allow us to create a congress that can hold the President accountable to representing the people, not billionaires.

In 2026, young Pennsylvanians will have the opportunity to elect a Governor, who will be instrumental in standing up to a government that has constantly overlooked the youth. At an estimated 793,555 registered voters across the state, Gen‑Z has the power to determine the outcomes of these elections–but only if we get organized now.

Since 2023, P26 has built a team of strong youth advocates for Gen‑Z, and has worked to create a community for us in politics, through peer‑to‑peer outreach, —and we’re building a scrappy and innovative team that will organize and inspire thousands of PA youth to vote in both the Primary and General Elections in 2026.
