Representative Gil Cisneros (D-CA 31) and Damian Galvan talk with journalist and TikTok creator Lauren Green about the intersection of fashion, politics, and digital media. Lauren shares how her viral “fit check” videos humanize members of Congress and reveal changing norms on Capitol Hill. They explore how Gen Z and Millennial voters respond to authenticity, why campaign strategies are shifting toward social-first content, and how influencers are reshaping political communication. The episode also covers sustainable fashion, media literacy, and the future of journalism in the age of TikTok.Chapters:0:00 – Lauren Green joins the show0:50 – Starting journalism on the Hill2:30 – Reporting at Washington Examiner5:00 – Congress behind the scenes on TikTok7:30 – New media vs. legacy news10:30 – Fashion and politics13:00 – Humanizing politicians through style16:30 – Influencer vs. journalist ethics20:00 – Politicians embrace content creators24:00 – Digital-first campaigning28:00 – Gen Z wants real, not polished31:00 – Beards, dad fits & dress code shifts35:00 – Cowboy hats, sneakers & identity38:30 – Women’s fashion and rentals42:00 – Sustainable fashion & thrifting46:00 – Maxwell Frost, AOC & style shifts49:00 – Worst dressed on the Hill?52:00 – Custom suits & red carpet dreams55:00 – Fashion as political connection1:00:00 – Dream fit check guests1:03:00 – Fashion's role in engagementThank you for tuning into the ‘Who Dem?’ Podcast!
