Maverick PAC, the premier national network for conservative young professionals, announced the honorees of its 2022 Future40 award. The Future40 award recognizes conservative young professionals across the country that embody the next generation of leadership in the public and private sectors.
The 2022 Honorees
This year’s Future40 Committee is led by Maverick PAC National Board Member Luis “Andy” Gazitua. For his third time chairing the awards, he is joined by a diverse committee representing various industries and government positions. This time, he’s joined by Kelly Ogeisoba as Vice-Chair and Anton Castenada as Special Advisor.
This year’s honorees are as diverse as the selection committee, stemming from 15 states and territories. Nearly half of the class is female, while several are US military veterans and first-generation Americans.

He serves as National Co-Chair of Maverick PAC.
