Elections Matter Project reflection Politics has always been a subject that interests me because I enjoy understanding how government decisions, laws, and public policies shape our society. As someone interested in political science and pursuing a future in law, I find it important to stay informed about the issues affecting our communities and country. The Elections Matter project allowed me to explore four major political topics: the electorate and election process, education policies, immigration policies, and the economy.

It was interesting to see how the different environments affected the presentations. Overall, everyone did a great job on their presentation and explaining each topic.

Group 1 was in charge of discussing the economy and how it connects to elections. I think this was a really important topic because the economy is something that has been strongly affected espacially with our elections. As college students, we are starting to become more independent and have to think about things like...
