Many people fought for us to have the ability to vote and choose our leaders, so why not take advantage of that? Soon, you may be getting a job, owning or renting your own housing, getting married, starting a family, paying for health care, or building a business. The policies you vote for today will have a huge influence on your life after college. Why would you want to leave those decisions up to someone else? If you want something to change you have to voice your opinion, if you want a different leader, go vote to try to change it! You have the capability to help influence how your life will go. The government won't know how to represent us if we don't tell them in the form of candidates
