Ready to vote for candidates who listen

I will be turning 18 this year, which will make me eligible to vote in the April elections. I find it disappointing that so many people fail to exercise their right to vote, which was seen in this year's midterm elections.

I myself cannot wait to vote. Every vote does count, and people should not complain about the way things are going if they do not vote.

I also feel that candidates need to do a better job of reaching the younger and new voters.

I am ready to cast my vote, I just need a candidate who will listen.
