NextGen helped me realize the importance of…developing the next generation of conservative lawyers willing and able to fight for what we believe in. Sometimes, the Left is more aggressive and united about fighting for their values…AFL is about teaching us to have the courage and the tools to push conservative policies for the next generation.
