Earlier this week, we asked our Nextdoor audience about what issues were fueling their votes this year. Some had very specific reason, while other answers were simple. Let’s take a look.
Mark G.
“In the 30 years since Texas has been run by Republicans it has fallen into the worst percentiles of states in nearly every category from education, health outcomes, poverty, shootings, etc. It’s time to elect officials who stop with the culture wars and fear mongering, I’m voting BLUE up and down the ballot.”
Cynthia R.
“Ethical and moral candidates. Few and hard to find.”
Linda B.
“Prices skyrocketing.”
Gloria A.
“This old lady is voting in person the way I always do. I’m voting Republican all the way down the ballot. I don’t want to see socialism in Texas.”
Donald W.
“I’m voting for those who love America. I’m voting for those who are anti-socialist.”
Nathan M.
“Voting out Republicans is the only inspiration I need after these last two years.”
David M.
“Republicans have been running Texas into the ground for over 30 years. It’s time for a change!”
Muya S.
“War and democracy.”
Chris T.
“Grocery, gas, rent, utilities, insurance, and interest rates. We’re worse today than three years ago and getting worse. I’m also concerned about the open corruption and enrichment of our elected officials, the disregard for laws, and the destruction of our constitution by the enablers in our state and Congress.”
James M.
“Common sense.”
Joe L.
“Corruption on the part of Washington politicians. Address this and all else will follow.”
Danie W.
“The state of the country.”
Don W.
“Look at what has been accomplished since Obama and Biden are gone. That is why we vote republican and eliminate socialism and all the other negative things we Americans have worked to build in this great country.”
Mike B.
“Balanced Congress with checks and balances. Representatives who do their constitutional elected duties.”
Robin D.
“Good candidates, bad economy, high property taxes, and defunding public schools. Greg Abbott, Dan Patrick, and Ken Paxton are beholden to donors and billionaires. I’m excited to vote for candidates who put Texans first.”
