Question:
How do you feel about a woman running for office?
Answer:
“I feel like having a woman running for office is very good for the younger little girls, whether it’s black, caucasian, mexican. It gives girl power, it shows that no matter your race, or your background or where you come from it helps us envision that we can be leaders and show that it’s not just a man’s world. It’s everyone, everyone can do it, anyone can do it, we all can be leaders.”

Question:
Is voting important to you? If so, why?
Answer:
“Voting is important to me, especially as the younger generation we have a responsibility to go out and do our civic duty and vote. And a lot of the times as a younger generation we often say that ‘we don’t want to hear that’ or stuff about politics, when in reality we have to go out and vote because in the future we’re the group that it’s going to affect the most.”

Question:
If Kamala Harris were to be elected to office, how would that impact you?
Answer:
“If Kamala Harris were elected to office, I think I would feel more represented as a woman of color, because she’s also a woman of color. Other than that I don’t know how much of an impact her being in office will have on me, but I do hope to see some improvements in specifically education, environment, those things.”

Question:
How do you feel about Donald Trump running again?
Answer:
“Honestly I feel like, doesn’t he have like so many felony charges on his name? And he’s currently under investigation as well, but I just don’t understand how a felon can run for president but [we] can’t even get a decent job in America, but that’s the generation we’re living in apparently. But I feel like he shouldn’t be able to be reelected, but that’s my personal opinion, everyone has their own opinion. So, it’s just kind of bending the rules for certain people in my opinion again. But that’s how I feel about it.”
