At some point last summer, when Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren seemed to drop a new detailed policy proposal every week, her propensity for “plans” became a kind of personal slogan and trademark for her followers.

"Warren Has a Plan for That" started appearing on campaign-sponsored bags and T-shirts, which I saw in droves while reporting at the New Hampshire Democratic Convention in September. In talking with voters at the convention, where every candidate spoke, the Massachusetts senator’s “plans” came up time and again as the reason her adherents said they support Warren.

“I’m a big Warren fan. I really like her plans and that they’re the most detailed,” Charlotte Cox, a 19-year-old Smith College student, told Teen Vogue. When I asked why she appreciates Warren’s plans, Cox said simply, “Just, like, the number of them.”

Many others, particularly young women, praised Warren’s plans.

“She’s not fake. Her ideas, and her plans and the information in them, it’s concrete, but she’s also a kind and genuine person that I trust,” said Lila Goldstein, 19, a student at Mount Holyoke College.

It seems that for many of Warren’s young supporters, her plans go beyond fodder for a cutesy catchphrase. For those coming of age and into political consciousness in the era of Donald Trump, Warren’s “plans” are a salve for the pervasive uncertainty, tumult, and despair these women say haunt them. The proposals feed their craving for a seemingly clear path forward — for a plan, or many of them, and in great detail, pointing toward a more stable and flourishing future.

“It makes me feel assured and comfortable and safe, almost, knowing there is a candidate who’s really thinking about middle-class families like mine and the struggles they’re facing. She has so much passion and intellect and is channeling that into policies that are well thought-out. Even if only half of them are enacted into law, I know they’ll have a big impact on many lives,” Zoe McGuirk, a 16-year-old high school student and volunteer with the Warren campaign, told Teen Vogue.

To date, Warren has released nearly 70 plans over the course of her campaign, and with less than a month until the Iowa caucus, she continues to roll out new ideas. This month alone, Warren introduced a proposal to fix the country’s bankruptcy system, which would end the rule that makes it nearly impossible to discharge student loan debt in a bankruptcy. She also unveiled a plan to help people with disabilities, which would enhance employment opportunities and bolster protections for civil rights and housing. A plan to create 10 million green jobs, Warren’s seventh large-scale plan focused on climate change, came out in late December.

Of course, other candidates have policy proposals. The two front-runners, according to the latest polls, former vice president Joe Biden and Senator Bernie Sanders, list 17 and 33 plans on their websites, respectively — but none appear to have the depth and length of Warren’s.

“I think it’s a first from a historical perspective that you have someone who provides the quantity and quality of information being presented by Warren,” Luke Nichter, a professor of history at Texas A&M University, told Teen Vogue.

Indeed, other young volunteers with the Warren campaign in New Hampshire, the site of the nation’s first primary, told me this week that it’s not just the number of Warren’s plans that attracts them, but their content and relevance to Gen Z.

“I think that we, as a generation, are growing up having to face a lot of the consequences of previous mistakes or bad decisions, and I think it has quite fortunately been a cause for political reckoning in younger generations,” said Maggie Wainwright, a 16-year-old student at Phillips Exeter Academy.
