Nicole Napoli: “Just because I can, I guess. It’s important to vote. My daughter is normally in school on election days but she just graduated from kindergarten and it is important for kids to see voting. That was another reason; so she could be a part of it.”

David Waterman: “It’s an interesting election — two extremist and some people who would guide the state with the steady hand and that applies to both sides. I’m voting for the steady hand. It’s critical especially in primaries because the elections are oftentimes the ball game. People don’t realize it before it’s too late.”

Ivy Whitlach: “I’m a life-long Republican, but this is not a Republican vision that I would ever have expected the world to turn to. I think the last election has also demonstrated how important it is for people to actually get out and demonstrate their perspective of what the world should be because it’s a scary time. We’re in a tipping point.”
