My thoughts have been captured by Cristina DC Pastor, founder and

journalist of The Fil-Am, online magazine for Fil-Ams in NY, NJ and beyond.

// Marissa Torres-Langseth, retired nurse-practitioner, said Harris is “free from bigotry and enforces equality in all human life forms.”

“As a legal immigrant myself, now, with dual Filipino American citizenship, we need to be very careful who we vote for in this election,” she reminded. “An empowered, well-read, compassionate, knowledgeable mind is likely to vote Democrat to preserve true democracy and human rights.”

Like Blodgett, Langseth has worrying concerns about Project 2025, the conservative blueprint which some progressives believe will guide Trump’s second administration. The fear is that it will reverse or withhold protections for the LGBT sector, abortion rights and climate change reforms.

“The Germans did not expect Hitler to take over in World War II. We do not want that to happen in the U.S. soil. It all started with something like Project 2025. Someone who wants to rise above the law and wants to destroy the Constitution should be stopped. We do not need dictatorship or autocracy in the USA,” she said further.

Like Langseth, Jersey City resident Jenny Castaneda is not bothered when Harris breaks into giggles, the sound of her laughter not at all grating to the ear.

“I love her laugh, which is annoying to some,” she said. Langseth thinks the Kamala guffaw “exudes confidence.” //
