Why our readers voted in these midterms

I’m voting to change the present path this country is on. I’m voting to protect the future for children, women, people of color and a return to normalcy.

Kim Christian

I vote because women, not too long ago, fought for my right to do so. I’m voting this time because I think the current party in power is leading us in the wrong direction; I hope to help send a message.

Lorraine Havrilla Brock

I’m voting to keep the economy going in a great direction. My hope is that this economy will help to empower minorities with this rising tide.

Euan Henry

I voted to end the insanity of the last two years. To get a checks and balance system back.
