Young adults are paying attention to this election, with specific concerns on their mind. Who do they think will address those concerns? The people in the picture above.
KENTUCKY YOUNG DEMOCRATS EXECUTIVE BOARD
When you’re young, you crave nothing more than to be an adult – to have the freedom to make your own choices. Forces beyond your control start to change that childhood dream of being an astronaut or a dancer. You then have to start asking yourself “Will I be able to afford my rent?” “Can I start a family or business here?”
Truth is, adulting is hard. The questions we ask ourselves start to become: “What are the gun laws here?” “Will I be safe expressing my identity?” “Is my home going to be washed away in a catastrophic weather event?” – all currently at the top of our minds.
This is the reality we face. This is what many of us think about as we start new chapters in our lives. This is what comes to mind when many of us are voting. Every cycle, we are told the upcoming election is the most important of our lifetimes. This time, it’s true.
