When it comes to Gen Z in politics, two things seem to be true at the same time.

Young voters are showing up and caring about elections, the top two midterms for youth

turnout, 2018 and 2022.

But at the same time, young voters feel increasingly turned off and less loyal to the main two political

parties.

And here's another thing about young voters.

So much of the political and media conversation about them focuses on young voters in and

around cities.

And young world voters, they notice the slight.

I'm from the mountains and my friends and I all have all of our teeth, which I think really

throws some people off sometimes, but we do have all of our teeth and we are civilized

for lack of a better term.

From the outside looking in, people are kind of like, I don't understand why anybody

would want to live in a rural area, but I don't know.

I think that sometimes they kind of generalize like, well, this is what the people there live

like and this is what they believe.

But really when you get there, it's like, I think that it kind of speaks for itself.

Consider this.

Republicans think they have a lock on rural voters.

Democrats think they have a lock on young voters.

So where do young rural voters fit in and what do they care about?

We'll talk to a group of them in a key swing state to find out.
