First-time voters back Miklos

Matthew Cocco and Sheila Dang both voted for the first time.

Spending an hour at Mosley Elementary School interviewing voters as they left the polling place proved difficult. Only eight people cast their vote during the hour we were there. Of those, only two agreed to an interview.

First-time voters Matthew Cocco and Sheila Dang, both staunch Robert Miklos supporters, felt education and the economy were the most important issues in this year’s election. Both were most concerned about budget cuts in education and slow economic growth that threaten the futures of young and old. Though they didn’t disclose which presidential candidate got their votes, they agreed the next leader of the country must improve the economic outlook.
