Richard Chew is joined by Santiago Mayer, founder of Voters of Tomorrow. The discussion focused on how to engage young voters and build intergenerational support for voter participation.

Here are a few key points from the conversation:
- Mayer said nearly 40 percent of young voters have gone unheard by campaigns or parties, despite youth turnout remaining higher than before Gen Z entered the electorate.
- Voters of Tomorrow uses youth-to-youth outreach and trains members to help peers understand ballots and voting processes.
- Young voters’ priorities connect economic mobility—such as housing and employment—with personal rights and freedom.
- The organization is investing more than $3 million across 18 House races, including $1 million to mobilize college students in Iowa’s 1st and 2nd districts and Virginia’s 5th district.
- Mayer described state and local officials as important partners, citing a California bill drafted by a local chapter and signed by the governor.
- Intergenerational collaboration can combine young voters’ perspectives with older supporters’ experience; examples included mentorship and joint phone banking.
