1. What motivated you to come out and vote?
-- “I am actually from California but I registered [to vote] in Philadelphia because I thought that it would make a bigger difference in Pennsylvania than it would back home. And I feel like it’s an important election just in term of control of Congress.”
2. What would you like to see changed in our political system?
-- “Um..well...honesty, openness, transparency.”
3. How regularly do you vote?
-- “Every election”
4. Do you know why we vote on Tuesday?
-- “No, I actually don’t.”
[I explained to them after that.]
5. Where have you encountered the highest amount of ad campaigning?
-- “On TV”
6. What was the most memorable campaign ad that you have encountered?
-- “I heard one this morning about Pat Toomy, and it was one of that...um...it was like the radio show host that he’s pretending to be really objective but the callers were saying all of this like nasty stuffs about Pat Toomy, and he’s like “That’s true, but I can only state the facts”...
7. Are you always sure of who you are going to vote for when you walk into the booth?
-- “I am usually sure before.”
8. What changes do you hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election?
-- “I am actually voting more on the federal, for the federal seats. I am not really interested in [Philadelphia]. Institutionally, I guess it’s the gun issue. I think that that’s something I’d love to see changed, obviously.”
9. What impact do you feel that your vote will have on the election?
-- “I think it will have quite an impact here, not necessarily as much if I was voting back in California.”
10. Did you learn about voting in school?
-- “Yeah, I did. In middle school, elementary school.
Did that impact how you feel about voting?

My Election Day Adventure
Kathleen Williams (my neighbor)
What motivated you to

Nothing really motivated me to come out and vote, its just something I was raised to do. My parents did it, so I do it.
Do you vote in every
election?
Yes, I vote in every election I get the chance to.
Where have you
encountered the highest amount of ad campaigning?
I would say it would have to be ads in print, they are everywhere I am taking one off of my door handle everyday.
What was the most
memorable ad campaign ad that you have encountered?
None, I ignore all those campaign adds. I vote for the candidate who seems to have the best interests for Philadelphia or Pennsylvania.
What changes do you
hope to see in Philadelphia as a result of this election?
I hope to see the city stay the same, no candidate really ever changes anything. Maybe make the streets a little safer is my biggest wish.
