Generation Reset with Kerry Rodríguez
Generation Reset is for people who didn’t grow up obsessed with American politics—but can’t ignore it anymore.
With the Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, states may have more room to redraw electoral maps in ways that reshape representation, competition, and voter power. For political operatives, the fear is election chaos: maps changing close to primaries or general elections, disrupting turnout, candidate filing, campaign strategy, ballot design, absentee voting, and voter trust. Even when courts intervene later, confused voters may not come back.
But the bigger question is what happens to people who have tuned out American politics because its consequences have not yet reached their daily lives. What changes when the structure of government suddenly becomes impossible to ignore? What does this mean for founders building political, civic, and campaign technology? And how should candidates and incumbents adapt as the next election cycle takes shape?
Each week, Generation Reset speaks with voters, entrepreneurs, campaign professionals, and political insiders—people with a stake in shaping the future of American government from both outside and inside the system. Rather than chase the daily news cycle, the podcast explores political activation: the forces that pull people into U.S. politics, push them away from it, and eventually drive them to seek change.
For campaigns, civic organizations, and political builders, Generation Reset offers a direct line to a growing audience moving from disengagement to action.
