Who are you voting for and why?
“I’m voting for Trump because I feel like, yes he’s outspoken sometimes, but I feel like he’s right to the point and he can get more stuff done with the way he talks and works as a business man.”
What political issue/stance is most important to you and why?
“I’d say terror because that’s the biggest thing that’s going to cripple us, besides debt, that’s probably our main fear with everything that’s been going on in the world right now.”
Why is it important for college students to vote?
“I’d say because it’s our future, even if you’re a freshman, the next four years is a huge part of your life and it can make or break if you get a job when you come out or what the the world is when you come out.”
Jacob DeBerry
Freshman | Pre-law
Who are you voting for and why?
“I’m not 100 percent sure yet, but probably Hillary Clinton just because I think she has more expertise in the area of government and also because Donald Trump has a some very strong, forward ideas, Kind of more laid back in not really wanting to get too far into that.
What political issue/stance is most important to you and why?
“I think just foreign politics. Just because relations with other countries are extremely important to run ours.”
What resources do you use to research what candidates are for and what they’re against?
“A lot of it is just looking stuff up on the internet and trying to figure stuff out like which side I relate to most.
Why do you think it’s important for college students to vote?
“I think we do have an influence on the vote so if you don’t vote then you’re basically forfeiting your right to vote.”
Ciara Kibby
Freshman | Pre-vet
Who are you voting for and why?
“I’m hoping to vote for Trump just because I’ve heard a lot of bad things about Clinton and my family has influenced me greatly.”
What political issue/stance is most important to you and why?
“I don’t know, I really think a candidate should be completely honest and I feel like, as much as Trump is seen as kind of a jerk sometimes, it’s sometimes needed to be straight up instead of avoiding topics to be politically correct. I take honesty most importantly.”
What resources do you use to research what candidates are for and what they’re against?
“Just whatever is on the internet, the different things that come up and I watch the debates. I took a current events class in high school and we talked about it.”
Hunter Koster
Senior | Pre-medicine and forensic biology
Who are you voting for and why?
“I plan on voting for Jill Stein because I don’t like either of the main party options. There’s things about Hillary and Trump that I am not in favor of and I do not support. So, I thought a third party was one of the best choices.”
What political issue/stance is most important to you and why?
“Most important stance would probably have to be in relation to the immigrants and Trump’s infamous building the wall. Hillary had good points with that but I think Jill Stein would have a better way to implement her plans.”
What resources do you use to research what candidates are for and what they’re against?
“Well, there’s always all the propaganda from social media that kind of helps feed people’s minds but I follow Jill Stein’s and Gary Johnson’s pages on Facebook.”
