Ahead of November's elections, NPR's journalists will be digging into some of the most important issues that drive voters to the polls and help shape which candidates will get their support. Next week Morning Edition kicks off the 'We the Voters' series with a look at guns in America, with many young voters in particular saying a lack of response to mass shootings and other gun violence is a top issue for them. The series begins Monday, April 15.
The following week, All Things Considered picks up the series with a focus on economic issues, specifically, some of the "kitchen table" factors that influence how voters feel about the economy: access to affordable housing, food prices, student debt. The ATC team will check in with four voters they've been following for the past couple election cycles to hear how they view the economy, and what they want their government to do. Tune in beginning Monday, April 22.
Future coverage in the We the Voters series will focus on immigration, reproductive rights, foreign policy and health care. Stay tuned.
