What is there about this election that is important to me and has me wanting to vote or be engaged? I’m tired of all the seedy politics going on in Washington – mainly with business interests being taken more seriously than human interests. Our system is NOT working. Capitalism is NOT working. Democracy isn’t happening. I’m scared about the direction things are going, and think we need a radical change.

How has an experience abroad impacted my view of U.S. foreign policy? My experiences abroad have been very enlightening for me politically. Talking with people on the other end of the crooked trade deals like NAFTA really helped me understand that people are not the main beneficiaries of the government. Right now, the government is much more business friendly than people friendly. The almighty dollar has won, and people are no longer important. We need to continue to put people first.

What is the most important political issue to me, and why? I refuse to be a one-issue voter. Foreign policy (trade/immigration and military intervention) is really a huge issue that I think deserves a lot of attention.

How does my faith inform my political views, engagement and assessment of candidates? God is the God of the poor, the powerless, the people who have been silenced by society. With this understanding, it becomes clear (to me, at least) that this should also be our focus as well.
