Y’all, it’s Election Day, and emotions are running HIGH. That’s why I’m here to deliver some hope.
In an interview with CNN outside the polls in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Jason Faasse, a dad of four, was stopped and asked who he is voting for today and why. “I voted for Kamala Harris,” he shared.
When asked why, he replied, “I have three daughters — four children overall. And women’s rights are pretty important to them, and my daughters,” before getting visibly choked up.
“Sorry, I am getting a little emotional about that. I didn’t think I was gonna do that,” he paused to admit.

“But just their bodies, their choice, that type of mentality,” he continued. “I want them to grow up in a world that’s welcoming to everybody. So yeah, that’s why I cast my vote today.”
In any case, people loved seeing a dad vulnerably displaying his emotion and considering his daughters’ futures with his vote:
Go, Jason!!! And cheers to all the dads who consider their daughters when they cast their votes!!!
