In the lead up to Election 2020, there is an increasing amount of civic engagement among students. According to CIRCLE, recent trends suggest that young people are ready to talk about and participate in our democracy.

At Student Reporting Labs, we see this as an opportunity for students to cover the Presidential Election and create stories that matter to their generation. By leading conversations around issues that are important to them, we can ensure that student voices are heard and are actively engaged in our election process.

SRL students from across the country sent in their questions for the Democratic presidential candidates for the NewsHour/POLITICO #DemDebate. Hear what they are most concerned about.
