Highlights from a successful (and my first!)
@youngdems.bsky.social national convention!
It was a true honor to join hundreds upon hundreds of fired-up young Democrats in Philadelphia for #YDAPhilly — ready to lead not just in the future, but right now.
We had the coolest weekend EVER at #YDAPhilly! So much learning and connecting. Shoutout to the entire convention team for putting this together! We will see you in 2027, YDA! Until then, we will keep taking our seat at the table. #PACollegeDems

#YDAPhilly
Members of YDM spent the last few days learning, growing, and discussing how to lift up our communities — it’s safe to say Michigan was well represented at #YDAPhilly!
Thank you Governor Whitmer for your support of our state’s delegation and everyone attending #YDAPhilly!

Our team is so excited to be at #YDAPhilly with Young Democrats from across the country!
We're ready for an EVOLUTIONARY convention—are you?
A graphic with my headshot with text next to it describing my candidacy. My headshot my uncle took several years ago. I'm a half-Asian, half-White cisgender male with somewhat long hair and a mustache. Next to my headshot, there's big bold text titled "Terry Altherr for API Caucus Chair." Below it, there are three bullet points "Bring API Young Dems together through networking between states/territories", "Highlight API Young Dems organizing their communities and supporting them", and "Support API Dems running for office and strengthen relationships with API Dems in office"
As #YDAPhilly commences, I'm proud to announce that I'm running for Chair of the @youngdems.bsky.social API Caucus! During the last four years as Secretary of the YDA API Caucus, I've ensured that the API Caucus E-Board would best serve our caucus through programing and networking.
Come participate in the time-honored YDA Convention tradition of singing some sick tunes with your fellow young Democrats!
