Students discuss the importance of voting

Elizabeth Kamenick, sophomore early childhood education major “[Voting] is my civic duty as a citizen… I just want to have my voice heard and my opinions.”

Princess Hovery, sophomore special education major “I just want to have my voice in it, and I want to to be able to say that I contributed to it and that the next four years will hopefully be a little bit better.”

Marcus Katalenas, alumnus computer science major “I am prior military, so I listen to whoever is president no matter what. Now that I’m a veteran, I feel like I’m gonna actually step up… I want to see maybe more on the environmental side of things…. and [I want to see] more information about whether we should restrict their existing gun laws or not.”

Noah Smith, freshman music education major, “I feel since I’ve become of age for voting that my one vote doesn’t make an impact whether or not I am Republican or Democrat or whoever I choose.”

Torrance Carter, freshman music education major “I don’t really know [who I am going to be voting for]. I really don’t know. I just feel very pressured to vote.”

Breanna Freeman, freshman mass communication major “I feel like it’s really important for this election because stakes are so high and I feel like it’s really important to have your voice heard.”

Brendan Ebron, senior music education major “The most important thing for us right now is the economic issues in America as well as candidates that are running for president and vice president and other local governments.”

Jordan Davis, freshman musical theater major “Black issues are the most important thing and social issues in general. We have a lot of social issues.”

Celina Brown, sophomore human nutrition major “I’ve voted [in-person] via the voter registration office. Everyone has a voice and everyone’s voice deserves to be heard. Voting is just another form of a voice.”
