“I’m stoked,” said one of those seniors, Emma Griffith. “This is like my first opportunity to exercise my, like, privileges as a citizen and be able to vote and actually, like, make an impact.”

“To actually be able to go in on Election Day and say, this is the person I want. They’re going to represent me the best,” said Scott Creason, also a high school senior.
Griffith says while the chance to vote is thrilling, she’s not thrilled with the candidates, saying they’re “obviously not ideal.”
Creason says he wants a candidate who will focus on things “that are going to matter to younger people, like how can we buy a house after college? How can we get jobs that will pay for our lifestyles?”
