We met Jorge Luis DeAnda as he was gathering petitioner signatures for a ballot measure in downtown Yuma.

DeAnda is a potential-first time voter who says he is "chill" about the upcoming election and just wants a good President.

“I’m just here doing my job...gathering answers and signatures.” Jorge Luis DeAnda

As a first-time voter, DeAnda is still trying to figure out who he will be choosing. Despite being a petitioner, he doesn’t have a strong interest in local or state politics.

But he says first time voters like him need to do their research about the candidates and issues.

DeAnda spoke with KAWC Student Newsroom Reporter Mack Schwitzing for our Young Voters Series.

Mack is a full-time student at Arizona Western College pursuing a degree in Secondary Education and Physics. Growing up in Yuma, his passion for learning has allowed him to foster greater connections within the community and strive for excellence on and off campus. His interest in audio production began in the "Introduction to Podcasting" course offered at AWC. Mack is a member of the inaugural 2024 Summer Student Newsroom, and he is continuing his work for KAWC through the Student Newsroom program.
