My name is Jimmy Hamilton. I'm currently a senior at Siena College majoring in political science. I'm originally from the small town of Scotia, New York. The importance of voting was instilled in me and my sibling from a young age and we have all grown up to be fairly politically active. I'm excited to work on motivating young people on our college campus to increase their political participation as well.

Ryan is a senior from Queens, NY studying political science. He chose ENACT because: "the voting participation among Gen Z is unreasonably low, and as a part of Gen Z myself, I would like to increase political awareness among young citizens. Throughout history, our country has worked hard to legalize voting among all demographics and young Americans should take advantage of this opportunity given to them. I want to encourage my peers to take part in the 2023 election, as starting voting young will make citizens want to vote in the next election."
