I believe the most important part of voting is doing the research first. Before voting, do some investigating. Make sure you pick a candidate who has policies you agree with. It is not a good idea to pick someone based only off what political party they are in.
Below, I have listed everyone who is running for president at this time. Check out these names and figure out who you want to vote for. Happy researching!
1. Micheal Bennet
"To protect our country's economic future and the health and well being of all Americans, we must find a way to rein in out-of-control costs, provide quality, affordable health care choices to all, and make outrageous insurance industry abuses a thing of the past." -Micheal Bennet
2. Joseph R. Biden Jr.
"Corruption is a cancer: a cancer that eats away at a citizen's faith in democracy, diminishes the instinct for innovation and creativity; already-tight national budgets, crowding out important national investments. It wastes the talent of entire generations. It scares away investments and jobs." - Joe Biden
3. Cory Booker
"Patriotism is love of country. But you can't love your country without loving your countrymen and countrywomen. We don't always have to agree, but we must empower each other, we must find the common ground, we must build bridges across our differences to pursue the common good."
4. Steve Bullock
"In Montana, whether you're a farmer, whether you're a fisherman... you know that the climate is changing, and we need to do something about it." - Steve Bullock

"What's important for my daughter to know is that... if you are fortunate to have opportunity, it is your duty to make sure other people have those opportunities as well." - Kamala Harris
12. John Hickenlooper
"Secure the border; have an ID system that works. Have a guest-worker system. And then, finally, hold businesses accountable. Once you do that, most of the chambers of commerce and those who are clamoring around immigration will take a deep breath and relax." -John Hickenlooper
13.Jay Inslee
"What is a fish without a river? What is a bird without a tree to nest in? What is an Endangered Species Act without any enforcement mechanism to ensure their habitat is protected? It is nothing." -Jay Inslee

17. Beto O'Rourke
"We can either be governed by fear - fear of immigrants, fear of Muslims, call the press the enemy of the people, tear kids away from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border - or we can be governed by our ambitions and our aspirations and our desire to make the most out of all of us. And that's America at its best." -Beto O'Rourke
18. Tim Ryan
"While the political debate over abortion will continue for a very long time, the federal government can and should be doing more to support programs and services that provide women with better options." -Tim Ryan

"What I've learned is that real change is very, very hard. But I've also learned that change is possible - if you fight for it." -Elizabeth Warren
