Henry Pahlow:
Yeah, well, I think there's really this misconception that very young voters simply don't care about politics. I don't think that's true. I mean, I've talked to my peers and they really care about the issues, and sometimes there's an information gap. They don't know how to register to vote. They don't know how they can vote. They don't, you know, have sources to get ample information about the election and the candidates. So one of my really big goals is, one, I've been encouraging my peers to text their peers, help them register to vote. And also talk about, "Hey, here's why Kamala Harris, and Tim Walz and the rest of the Democratic Party are going to be beneficial to what you care about as a young person, and why you should get to the polls." And I really think, so long as we meet younger, really young voters like myself where we're at, and help them through their questions and get them to the polls, they can really become a powerful bloc and turn out in large margins for the Democrats.

...

The hope is, over the next few years, we have more younger people running for office. And I think when younger people run for office, we get new perspectives, we get new voices. And I think I've run into a lot of really great young elected officials here. Whether that be the first Gen Z congressman from Florida, Maxwell Frost, city council members who were in college and decided, "Hey, you know, it's my chance." You know, we're not the leaders of tomorrow, we're the leaders of today, and our voices matter right now. And so I think younger voters want to see candidates that reflect our views and our generation and our lived experiences. And that's why, you know, it's my hope that, you know, no matter your background, no matter where you're from, if you're a young person and you really, really care, then take that shot, run for office, because our generation really needs those perspectives and places of power.
