    young-queer-officials

    In April, The Advocate profiled Huey Rey Fischer, a 23-year-old Democrat running for a seat in the Texas House of Representatives.

    Fischer, the son of a Jewish father from Brooklyn and a Catholic, formerly undocumented mother from Mexico, campaigned for votes using dating apps such as Grindr and Tinder. Though he did not win his primary, his campaign motivated us to find other queer elected officials under the age of 30. Here are seven of them, all paving the way for more young queer politicians to come.
