“I don’t believe gender or race will affect my vote for president. I believe for president, it is too important of a position to be swayed by race or gender. I would look at the way the person stands on the issue, the background, experience, and overall truthfulness of the candidate.”
Elizabeth Atherton, Art Professor

“Gender and race has nothing to do with the way I vote, but needless to say, this election is important and historical because of gender and race. No matter who is elected, it will bring some change. The way I vote has nothing do with gender or race, but with being informed about the election and the issues.”
Jeffrey Cohen, Mathematics Professor

“Gender and race play no direct influence in the way I vote; what does have an influence is the politics of the person. I am more interested in the politics a certain candidate has to offer, and the issues he/she is concerned with instead of the color of that person or his/her gender. ”
Ed Martinez, Public Access Librarian

“Gender or race does not affect the way I vote. I look for candidates who have integrity, strong leadership ability, a vision for the community, state or country that I share, and the experience and skill to carry out proposed programs, to make good on campaign promises and to use good judgment. ”
Florence Baker, History Professor
