-Amanda Vaquero, St. John Fisher College, Rochester, NY
“I go to a public state school in a smaller-scale, kind of poor upstate NY town which means a lot of people are more left wing and or liberal, they are happy with the results.”
-Jaclyn DeFiore, State University of New York College at Cortland, NY
“People are not happy with Andrew Cuomo staying as governer N.Y, I also got the feeling people are not too fond of the new state rep for congress Lee Zeldin. Other than that students seemed content with the other newly elected officials.”
