Democratic candidates are gearing up for the highest stakes debate yet. The 10 highest-polling Democratic candidates will appear for a single-night debate in Houston Thursday to tell Americans why they should be at the top of the ticket.
"GMA" asked voters to share which issues will most inspire them to vote in this election. Here’s what they said.
"Well, I’m a college student, so if we could get college free, paid by the government, that’s a big topic."
"I have a daughter that’s going to be a junior and I am just really concerned about the lack of common-sense gun control in Iowa. … I think the kids in school need to worry about math and science and other things like that, and not their physical safety."
"I think it’s very holistic and it’s also about who I believe has leadership qualities."
"I work in the long-term care industry and I see daily the significant impact of Medicare reimbursements, insurance reimbursements and how that affects facilities and being able to provide adequate care."
"Health insurance is too expensive. I don’t know what the answer is, but I think that’s a very big issue for me."
"I’m very concerned with the removal of the Environmental Protection Agency guidelines. I’m very concerned with what corporations are doing as far as polluting and contaminating our oceans."
"The whole environmental issue is so important, and the fact that we are loosening our regulations on how to control that and help that is just an abomination."
