The Election from an Army Reserves Soldier
By: Nicole Caropolo
The presidential candidate that gets elected into the White House affects every citizen of the United States, but some more than others. In this election, many topics have risen that focus on specific demographics such as minorities, organizations and social classes. A group of voters that are often in the political spotlight are soldiers, veterans, and gun owners.
In January of 2016, Gabriella LoDico enlisted in the Army Reserves to become a military police officer. As war and guns are popular topics in political campaigns, she believes that being in the army is a large influence in who she wants to be elected president.
I will be asking Gabriella about her views on multiple political issues, how she feels about the candidates, and how enlisting the army has changed her point of view on these issues.
