Young Voters, Young Politicians

Turnout among voters under 30 has been high in recent elections, but there are still major impediments — both systemic issues and cultural ones — that keep younger people from casting ballots. And there are similar roadblocks when those folks want to run for office, especially when it comes to funding their campaigns. This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, political correspondent Ashley Lopez, and political reporter Elena Moore. The podcast is produced by Elena Moore and Casey Morell.
