Gen Z is still showing up, still progressive—but the loyalty to Democrats isn’t what it used to be. In this episode, Mary-Pat Hector sits down with Santiago Mayer, founder of Voters of Tomorrow, to unpack why young voters are increasingly frustrated with politics-as-usual. From unmet promises on climate and student debt, to campus protests and the power of authenticity, this conversation dives into the real reasons Gen Z is distancing from the Democratic Party—without moving closer to conservatives.

We’re breaking down myths about youth voters, exploring what’s driving disillusionment, and charting the path forward for campaigns that actually want to earn Gen Z’s trust.
