Young Voters Voice Thoughts on GOP Voter Recruitment

News21 reporters Kelly Brooks and Jeanette Der Bedrosian asked young adults at two Washington events this summer -- the National Conservative Student Conference and the 80 Million Strong for Young American Jobs Coalition summit -- what the GOP needs to do to attract youth votes. Those interviewed were from across the country and the political spectrum.
