2014 Election for Governor

If I was eighteen and registered to vote, and I had to choose to vote between Martha Coakley and Charlie Baker, my vote would go towards Charlie Baker. While Martha Coakley makes good arguments and has good focuses, Charlie Baker has better ones in my opinion. Martha Coakley focuses on elementary and pre-school education. That is all well and great, but all in all I do not see a problem that needs to be fixed or improved on here. Charlie Baker however, focuses on secondary education. Charlie Baker wants to put more charter schools in place and I think that is a great idea. Also, Charlie Baker wants to try to make college more affordable for people. Instead of a four-year college with four-year tuition, Charlie Baker's goal is to make college a three-year education where you achieve your Bachelor's degree. If you decide to attend college all four years, you would receive your Bachelor's and your Master's degree. I believe that is very helpful. Also, Martha Coakley is for sick time for workers and Charlie Baker is against it. I don't think sick time should be a law because you lose time that could make you more money and lose bonuses. Charlie Baker puts a lot of focus towards welfare as well, and Martha Coakley criticizes him for that. A lot of the population is in poverty and welfare could be very beneficial for people, so I believe it is a beneficial and important issue. Overall, Charlie Baker is a better option for Governor and my vote would go towards him.
