Young blood

There's been a steady rise in the number of young people running for local, state and federal offices in the past few years, so Grace and I set out to answer two big questions: what's motivating these candidates to run? And more importantly, how are they getting young voters to turn out during this year's election? Two young candidates from California and Illinois share what's inspired them to run for offices in their hometowns, and one of the co-founders from Run for Something explains why he left political consulting to provide coaching and resources to a new generation of politicians.
