Do you vote for the party, or the person?

Kelly Karuzis, 28, Denmark

“Generally, it’s the person, but because of the present state of the world, it’s going to be the party. I’m going to vote Democrat.”

Patricia Bell, 39-plus, Windham

“The person, although this year, I’m voting mainly Democratic in protest of our current government leaders.”

Betty Melanson, 46, Windham

“I vote for the person. I just vote for who I think is going to represent me the best.”

Todd Rohr, 42, Lakes Region builder

“Person. I want to know what the stand for or what they believe in. It should be the person. Whatever happened to looking at people’s roots or where they come from?”

David Daye, 35, Raymond

“I actually try to vote for the person. I try to choose what makes common sense to me. Wherever I am on an issue, I tend to go with the person I can understand the best.”

Tim Canwell, 39, Steep Falls

“The party. I just agree with the Republican Party’s platform. I’ve never voted for a Democrat.”
