30 Something Working Group

30 Something Working Group

The "30 Something" Working Group is composed of ten members of the United States House of Representatives Democratic caucus, some of whom are under the age of forty. The group's stated mission is "engaging the next generation of Americans further in government and the political process." While Congress is in session, weekly broadcasts of the group are aired on C-Span.

After suffering several unsuccessful congressional election years and losing votes of younger Americans (usually a key Democratic demographic), Nancy Pelosi created the "30 Something Working Group", made up of younger members, to reach out to younger American voters, speaking in terms a younger voter could understand.

Although they continue to be members of the group, two of the group's three co-chairs, Kendrick Meek and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, turned 40 at the end of 2006. Tim Ryan is the third co-chair.
