User:DukeOfDelTaco/sandbox/List of Millennial members of the United States Congress

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of Millennial members of the United States Congress. The typical definition of Millennials, also known as Generation Y, refers to people who are born from 1981 to 1996.

Due to the federal age of candidacy in the United States being age 25 for the House and age 30 for the Senate, the first elections in which Millennials would have been eligible were 2006 and 2012, respectively.[a] As of 2023, there have been 74 members of Congress belonging to Generation Y, with Aaron Schock of Illinois being the first in 2009. Jon Ossoff of Georgia was the first Millennial to be elected to the Senate in 2021. There are 55 Millennials currently serving in the 118th Congress as of April 2024.
