23-year-old Indian American Nabeela Syed has made history as the youngest-ever member of the Illinois state Legislature. She is part of a trend of Gen Zs who are paving a new path in electoral politics.
“Gen Z candidates are proof that voters care about electing candidates who will listen to them and fight for their priorities more than they care about a candidate’s age,” she said, crediting her win to “an incredible team,” and relentlessly knocking on doors.
Syed’s family is from Hyderabad. Nabeela was born and raised in Illinois.
