“What’s motivating me to vote is all of the recent stuff that’s been happening in the news, and I don’t know, I just feel like if you don’t vote, you are just letting it happen.” – Glory Johnson, UW-Milwaukee junior
“I’m voting for people who can’t necessarily vote – younger people, undocumented people, people who just can’t get to the polls. I am Muslim, so that kind of racism really personally affects me.” – Najwan Hammad, UW-Milwaukee sophomore
“It’s gonna be super polarizing no matter which way it goes.” – Harrison Vey, UW-Milwaukee senior
“Other people push me to vote for what I think is right, but some people say that voting doesn’t matter.” – Vanity Conroy-Munoz, UW-Milwaukee freshman
“For me being a white dude, I don’t really face many systemic problems so I am voting on behalf of my friends who do face troubles.” – Patrick Schwegler, UW-Milwaukee junior
“I am not registered to vote, no. I just really don’t have information on who is actually in the running. To be honest, I don’t pay attention to politics at all.” – Bekah Dummer, UW-Milwaukee sophomore
