One week until Election Day and we want to hear from you.
We're asking voters about the issues on their minds as they prepare to head to the polls.
Our Laura Rogers takes us to the city of Glasgow and Barron County.
It's a busy lunchtime crowd at a coffee shop on the Glasgow Square.
It's less.
And Berry is a college sophomore home to drop off his absentee ballot.
I think it's important to vote people in who you believe in, who you think will bring forth progress and morality to your state better than city less.
Somebody says he is hopeful.
Youth voter is will turn out for the general election, but it remains to be seen.
There's a lot of talk, but not a lot of talk within college students in that matter.
So I would hope.
But it's not always a reality.
He says his top priorities when casting his vote are public education and job opportunities.
I hope that other people are conscious of such issues because they're prominent for everybody.
And talked with people about what it was like here during COVID.
And it was really bad, really, really draconian in Oregon.
Michelle Snyder moved her family to Kentucky from the West Coast, and politics was one of the things that brought them here.
I never understood how important politics or a governor was until living through that time.
She says energy issues and support for the coal industry won't help get her vote.
As much as I love solar and I love wind, I love renewable energy, it is not it's not sustainable at this point.
It's really important to me that we keep our coal industry and our natural gas that we have here.
Across town at another coffee shop, we spoke with Alexandria Hayes, volunteering with the nonpartisan group Bluegrass Democracy Project to help get out the vote.
I'm a firm believer that you can't sit back and complain about a problem if you're not willing to go roll your sleeves up and get in the mud and do your part.
And every person has the opportunity to go vote.
They should go vote.
I want a governor that they can truly connect with people and also can understand that the youth from Frankfort looks a lot different than it does here in Glasgow, Kentucky.
Angela Briggs says the promise of more jobs doesn't always impress her.
Unless there's also going to be a focus on workforce development and infrastructure improvements.
I want to know specifically what a candidate's going to do.
You know, I want to know what they're for, not necessarily what they're against.
A lot of times you hear.
You know, we're going to rail against this and we're not going to do this.
What are you for?
Whatever a candidate is for less than Barrett tells us, he hopes the one elected will work with both parties to find common ground that moves Kentucky forward.
It doesn't have to be this side of the spectrum versus this other side.
There are common values that should be pursued and everybody can benefit from.
For Kentucky Edition, I'm Laura Rogers.
Thank you, Laura, so much for that.
We'll continue to hear from more Kentucky voters throughout the week leading up to election Day, which is next Tuesday, November the seventh.
And be sure to tune into Katie on election night.
Our live coverage and informed analysis begins at 7 p.m. Eastern Time, six Central right here on Katie.
