It’s never been more clear: Democracy needs us to run, win, and lead.

Since 2020, New American Leaders has been shining a spotlight on the rise of New American representation in state legislatures, with a fresh report released every two years. We’re excited to share our 2024 report, covering the progress from 2022 to 2024, and we hope you'll be just as thrilled by the findings!

This isn’t just about the numbers—it's a story of growth, progress, and empowerment for immigrant communities. The report highlights the inspiring journeys of New American legislators, the impact of their leadership, and the crucial role that NAL and the New American Leaders Action Fund (NALAF) have played in driving this movement forward.

But the road to a fully representative democracy isn’t over yet. Despite major wins, significant gaps remain. Barriers like voter suppression, financial obstacles, and limited access to political networks are still holding New Americans back. Tackling these challenges is essential to ensure fair and equal opportunities for all candidates.
