We should have a country that’s going to be safe for everybody.”Molly Suppo, ’27Major: Computer Science“The economy because I have a tiny car and paying 30 bucks to fill my car kind of sucks.”Gary Murray, ’26Major: Political Science & History“As a Black American, I’m going to vote for the plight of Black people.
