Cartoon: Your vote, their hope

Grace Stiefel, Staff Writer • September 19, 2024

Nearly 12 years ago, one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history took place in Newtown, Connecticut. Survivors of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting who were in first grade at the time are now approaching their first opportunity to vote in a presidential election. This will be a monumental moment for these teenagers since firearms are currently a recurring discussion topic among presidential candidates. The survivors’ past experiences and trauma, which have shaped their lives and beliefs, will undoubtedly play a prominent role in their voting decisions. It is necessary for them to choose the candidate who will best represent their beliefs. This is true not only of the survivors but also of everyone voting in the U.S. (Grace Stiefel)
