Where the youngest new faces coming to Congress stand on tech

Eleven new lawmakers under the age of 45 were elected to the 117th Congress,  joining other under-45s leading on tech issues, including Silicon Valley Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO). Here’s what to know about some of the newcomers’ views on and ties to tech:

• Republican Madison Cawthorn, who at 25 will become the youngest member of Congress after winning in North Carolina's 11th District, has already positioned himself as a crusader against tech market power and alleged anti-conservative social media bias.
• Republican Nancy Mace, who pulled off something of a surprise victory in South Carolina's 1st District and was the first woman to graduate from The Citadel, has also planted a flag in the tech bias debate. 
• Democrat Sara Jacobs, who won in California’s 53rd Congressional District, is the granddaughter of tech billionaire Irwin Jacobs, founder and former chairman of the telecom giant Qualcomm.
• Democrat Cori Bush, who won Missouri’s 1st Congressional District to become the state’s first Black congresswoman, made economic justice a top campaign issue, taking aim at the billionaires who’ve become even bigger billionaires during the pandemic.
