In the presidential race, for whom are you voting? Lacy said he is unsure who he is voting for, but he is “leaning away from Trump.” TRESTON LACY, MASS COMMUNICATION SOPHOMORE

“I’m voting for Ted Cruz. He’s a Christian Conservative, and I think he can be effective. He stands for what he believes in.”

“Marco Rubio. I watched him and his debates, and I like when he’s asked a question he doesn’t bring down other people. He answers the question without attacking his fellow peers.”

TANNER CONLEY, GENERAL BUSINESS FRESHMEN

“Bernie Sanders. He’s interested in making college affordable for students.” KIMBERLY CHANDIAS, POLITICAL SCIENCE FRESHMEN
