How to Increase Young Voter Turnout by 50% by Daniel Regan
“Why are Millennials far less likely to vote than other generations? Learn how a group of young professionals in Tulsa, Oklahoma led a get-out-the-vote drive that overcame voter barriers and apathy and increased young voter turnout by 50% — and how other communities can do the same. Daniel Regan is a fourth-generation Tulsan whose family has strong roots in entrepreneurial innovation and community involvement. He is Executive Vice President and Director of Leasing for downtown Tulsa’s largest commercial property owner, on the forefront of the ever-changing landscape of the community’s Deco District. As the chairman of the board for Tulsa’s Young Professionals, one of the largest groups of its kind in the nation, Daniel led a campaign to reinvigorate civic engagement amongst the millennial demographic. As a result, in 2016 Tulsa saw some of the largest increases in young voter turnout in decades.”
