Have you come of age in the Trump era of politics? We want to hear from you.

Were you too young to follow American politics before 2015? Do you remember politics before the Trump era?

Many Gen Z voters and younger millennials have never known politics without former President Donald J. Trump looming large on the national landscape. And this year, more than four million 18-year-olds will again be eligible to vote.

These voters will play a crucial role in this year’s presidential elections. If that’s you, The New York Times wants to talk.

For the past five years, I have covered national politics for The Times, often focusing on political debates from the voters’ point of view.

It often strikes me that many voters – of any age – have little memory of pre-Trump politics. I’m particularly interested in understanding how the youngest voters perceive the importance (or irrelevance) of politics in their lives.

If you are a young voter, we want to understand what shapes your opinions. Are you excited about this election? Can you empathize with the candidates? Are you frustrated? What keeps you optimistic?

We will read each submission and contact some respondents for more information. We will not share your contact information outside the Times newsroom and will not publish any part of your submission without first following up and hearing from you.
