There are several young Democratic stars rising. [View all]

Everybody starts with the Castro brothers from Texas. Tim Ryan is a popular blue collar Democrat from Ohio. We have wonderful Senators like Sheldon Whitehouse, Sherrod Brown, and Jeff Merkley from Oregon. We have bright young Democrats like Adam Schiff, Joe Kennedy III, and several others.

I don't know if Sally Yates is a Democrat or not? But, if she is an independent, she would be welcome in our Party, I would think?
