Millennials In Legislature Create New Caucus

Millennials who serve in the Wisconsin Legislature are creating a new caucus to promote entrepreneurship, technology, and other important issues for younger adults. Assembly Democrat Amanda Stuck of Appleton and Republican Representative Adam Neylon of Pewaukee both chair the new group, which has about 20 members. Stuck, who’s 34, says there are more areas involving millennials in which both parties can agree rather than degree. Neylon, who’s 32, says the group can work on what he calls “generational issues” that don’t split along party lines — like figuring out how to allow self driving cars in the future. The national Millennial Action Project spurred the new caucus and its cofounder, Brookfield native Steven Olikara, says it’s about “being the adults in the room” and “not being at the kids’ table.”
