So, if you live in a battleground state, what political issue is most important to you this election year?

Maybe you're an Arizona resident, and the recent restrictions to abortion access, including a 15-week ban, are directly impacting you.

Maybe you live in rural Georgia, and widespread hospital closings have impacted you, forcing you to travel farther distances for healthcare.

Or maybe you live on the coast of North Carolina and have seen the devastation that storms due to climate change have had on your local community.
