Tyrone F., Gary, IN

High foreclosure rates across the country, the economic downturn, and the resulting raised crime rates are major concerns to new voter Tyrone, 34, originally from Gary, IN.  He registered to vote for the fist time this year in Porter County, because, as he says, “I just want to see a change.”

Tyrone is one of an unprecedented number of new voters who are making their voices heard this election season, and he wants to make sure that everyone who registered, comes out and votes.  “You better show up,” he says, “because we need a change in our society.  We’re not going to get it if all of us don’t come together and make it happen.”
