Kaleidoscope wants to know...

Given last week’s low voter turn out, do young Milwaukee professionals recognize the power of the vote? Why or why not?

Khalif Rainey: "Young MKE professionals are definitely aware of the power of the vote. I believe our ‘Get out the vote’ efforts need to be targeted at gaining the interest of the disinterested in our community."

Adesolu Omokunde: "I really don’t know, but it seems that they may be more educated about the political process than the average voter."

Tiffany Koehler: "As a political science graduate, the circle of people I encounter all vote religiously. The political fallout of being complacent in the voting process could be detrimental because so much is on the line. It is our duty to use our voice through the ballot box."

Margo Simmons: "As young professionals, it is our duty to stay informed on the issues and candidates who step forward to represent us. Maybe there aren’t enough candidates who look like us or choose to represent our interest. But it is up to us to correct that by letting our voices be heard."
