Action News Jax spoke with a couple who said this primary election leading up to the general election means everything to them.
“If you live in a country that has blessed you with freedom, we need to keep it free,” voter Drema Taylor said. “Too many veterans and soldiers have died fighting for us.”
Voters said it’s about who can tackle their biggest concerns.
“Because the person has already proven himself,” Taylor said. “He has already shut the border down, and it’s wide open.”
“The person I’m voting for has a track-proven record. I believe the country will be beneficial in the right direction under his leadership,” another voter, Robert Taylor said.
