Yes, I vote in every election. Why do I vote? I vote for people who I think will represent me on important issues. I also vote because I feel it's my duty to vote, to participate in the democratic process. Sometimes my candidate wins, and sometimes they do not. Whether my preferred candidate wins or loses, I still participate in the process by contacting my legislators. One of the things I treasure about Alaska is that my legislators know me by name. That never happened when I lived in states with larger populations.
