Junior Brayden Cortwright poses Nov. 3 outside the University Elementary School polling location in Bloomington. “I just want to have a president who knows what he’s doing and someone who represents my values,” Cortwright said. “Being professional, standing up for everyone, not just a small group that supports you.”

Ian Sons, 38, poses near the parking lot Nov. 3 outside the University Elementary School polling location in Bloomington. “When I vote for people, when I’m thinking about government,” Sons said. “I feel like their responsibility is to care for and protect the people.
