The New American Leaders Action Fund (NALAF) State of Representation 2026 Report examines the growing presence of New Americans in state legislatures across the country and documents where major gaps remain. 

This biennial report is important because it helps us understand whether state legislatures reflect the people they serve, whether immigrant communities can see themselves in public leadership, and whether policymaking is informed by the lived experience of communities that are too often overlooked. 

Dive into the leadership stories that New American Leaders (NAL) and New American Leaders Action Fund (NALAF) have helped build over the past 15 years through recruitment, training, candidate support, governance programming, research, and long-term investment in New American leadership.
