The Unique Voting Block of Gen Z

Gen Z, born between 1997 and 2012, represents approximately 70 million young Americans who have a distinct perspective shaped by unprecedented events such as the Great Recession and school shootings. This generation lacks memories of significant historical events like 9/11 and is characterized by their commitment to addressing systemic challenges through voting. Since entering adulthood, they have consistently shown remarkable voter turnout, participating at levels nearly double those of previous generations at the same age. Their impact in pivotal elections, including the 2020 election where they helped flip key states, underscores their importance as a voting bloc.
