"As a newly naturalized citizen, I am grateful to be able to exercise this right and help elect our government. Do not take this right for granted. #Vote!"
"Voting is the easiest way to let your voice be heard on important matters that affect you and your community. Please #vote today! Our government and lawmakers need to know what we think and feel on matters or they can’t act on our behalf."

"Voting is vital to a healthy democracy. But after we #vote, it’s important to get involved in our community and use our voices to support those who don’t have the same privilege."

"I'm grateful for the opportunity to help elect our decision-makers and I know that voting is a privilege that not everyone in our community has access to. That makes it all the more important for everyone who can to get out and #VOTE!"
