I do a lot of interviews with candidates, but I also like to take the opportunity to do interviews that aren’t focused on a specific individual’s campaign. Sometimes these are about referendums, sometimes they’re about a given issue, and sometimes they’re about a broader electoral effort. That’s what this conversation with Navid Zanjani, the President of the Harris County Young Democrats is about. We know that there has been a strong focus on Democratic turnout in this election, and we know that one area for this focus is with younger voters, who are likely to vote Democratic if they vote at all. It’s getting the out to vote that’s the question. The Harris County Young Dems have been doing their own work on this issue, and I wanted to know more about their efforts. Here’s what Navid and I talked about:
Early voting has begun, and that signals the end of this interview cycle. There may be more judicial Q&As if I receive further responses, but I’ll be putting away my recorder until it’s time to start talking to 2015 candidates. I hope the interviews I did for this election were useful to you.
