Thank you for running. I am 66 and I love seeing young people coming into the Democratic party. We need young blood and need to bring young people into the voting block. This is so important to have everyone see this. Get those new voices out there.

Agree, Christy! Let’s hear it for impressive young Democratic candidates like Deja, and also for us (young at heart) 66-year-olds! Woo hoo! Are you a 1959 model?

a 1958 model but it feels more like a 1968 model these days.

Amen, my sister! 💃🏽 Exercise really is the best medicine. Even on my creakiest days, I hear Queen Michelle O saying, “Let’s Move!” and I hop to! Hehe! 😉 (BTW, my mum is 91 and still in great shape. She has been an avid walker all her life.)

63 here & I second that! It's very good to see smart, passionate, articulate young people stepping up. Ones that get democracy, that investing in people & real opportunity pays off much more than corporate profits ever could. I remember being told idealism was dead going into the 80s. I never wanted to believe that. I have hope that we will take this country back, that we will move forward on what really made the U,S, great, the people.

We will take this country back. It's not even a option to not do it. We are fighting for our Constitution and our Democracy. Two things that can never go away. We will fight this facist orange man and his goonies with the truth against his lies, with facts and passion. We will win and, hopefully they will be charged for their crimes and spend the rest of their lives behind bars. No pardons for them, like tRump is doing for all the rich. Just justice.

Daring Deja Foxx will defend democracy from the fascists! Democrats need more diverse women of color like her to lead us to a progressive future. AOC/Crockett 2028 will be the most inclusive, powerful ticket: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/aoc-crockett-2028

It's great to see deja foxx get out and empower people with knowledge and information.

Such a bright, intelligent, articulate young lady.

This is why ALL dark money needs to be taken out of politics. These wealthy, dishonest politicians operate under cover of darkness for their own benefit.

The people need full transparency, facts, truth and information

Yup, big difference between wanting to learn about government & work serving the people & just wanting to play games of dominance & political violence. Big difference.

Do your best to call ciscomani out on his idiocy and make sure he knows Hou feel and think. We need Repugnantcans to come around. We need trump impeached & convicted and his agenda halted...we need ciscomani to cross the aisle.

I am immensely impressed with this young lady and what she’s accomplished at such a young age. But not only that, she clearly displays intellect, logic, fearlessness, grit and the determination to pursue what she deems is better for the greater good of humanity. People better get used to the young feisty political fighters with one thought in mind. To win for all!!!

I love her enthusiasm and her grass roots roots! My kids are the same age as her and they feel like no one represents them. We need more of these younger people leading our nation...the time for old fogey white men is over. Let the youth lead! Let the women lead!
