STREET BEAT: ‘Why are you voting this year?’

Roy George

“It’s a privilege. Some countries have a democracy, but don’t practice it. This is a blessing for us. It’s powerful for people to select their representatives.”

Sue Taylor

Long Beach

“I’ve already voted. I’m encouraging everyone to vote, to be a part of making this world a better place by voting.”

Lynn Uwadiale

Los Angeles

“It’s very important for all of us to represent ourselves and represent our beliefs and things that we need.” 

Sharon Raymond

Culver City

“Besides this being a very important election for our democracy, it’s my right to vote. People died so I could vote and I’m going to exercise my privilege.”
