WKU students discuss their views and concerns about the upcoming election

Students express a range of opinions on the candidates and issues

With the midterm elections just around the corner, WKU students are sharing their thoughts and concerns about the upcoming vote.

Some students are excited about the election and eager to cast their ballots.

"I think it's important to vote in every election," said junior political science major Sarah Jones. "It's our chance to have a say in who represents us and what policies are enacted."

Other students are more apathetic about the election.

"I'm not really interested in politics," said sophomore pre-med student John Smith. "I don't think my vote will make a difference."

Despite their differing levels of enthusiasm, all of the students interviewed said they were aware of the upcoming election and had given some thought to the candidates and issues.

Students identify key issues in the election

Some of the key issues that students are considering when making their voting decisions include the economy, healthcare, and education.

"I'm most concerned about the economy," said Jones. "I want to make sure that our country is on the right track and that everyone has the opportunity to succeed."

"Healthcare is another important issue for me," said Smith. "I want to make sure that everyone has access to affordable healthcare."

"Education is also a priority for me," said junior education major Mary Brown. "I want to make sure that our schools are adequately funded and that all students have the opportunity to get a good education."

Students offer advice to fellow voters

The students interviewed offered some advice to their fellow voters.

"Do your research and learn about the candidates and issues," said Jones. "Don't just vote for someone because they're popular or because you like their name."

"Make sure you're registered to vote and that you know where your polling place is," said Smith. "It's also important to make a plan for how you're going to get to the polls on Election Day."

"And finally," said Brown, "don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. There are plenty of resources available to help you learn about the election and make your voice heard."
