Midterm Turnout for Millenials in San Francisco
in 2014, millenialvoter turnout
fell to its lowest level on record.
Just 19.9 percent of 18 to 34 year-old citizens cast
ballots last fall compared with an average of 26.6
percent for the same age range in other midterm
elections over the previous 40 years.
Millennials are stuck in a cyclical blame game: They
don’t vote because candidates aren’t engaging
them, but candidates don’t engage them because
they don’t vote.

Position Issue
Midterms may seem less important
than a presidential election.
In truth, they have a much more direct
effect on the people.
There are 93 million of us in
America right now, and as a result,
we have the potential to be the most
powerful voting bloc in the country!
