Two of the biggest issues that Orange County residents said brought them to the polls Tuesday for Florida primary day, were education and the economy.

Robert Ferrera didn’t take part in the 2018 primary election, but said education was a driving force for him to vote this time.

According to the Orange County Supervisor of Elections office, more than 201,000 residents voted in the 2018 primary election, and more than 210,000 voted in the 2020 primary election.

“(I’m) making sure we have people in position that value education — value public education as well as private,” Ferrera said.

Voters and parents Maria Hernandez, Lori Williams and Murray Cohn, said education was also a huge issue for them.

“I don’t want anybody to be able to change history and stop our children from learning about anything,” Hernandez said.

“It’s very important, the climate and where funding is going, and the people in charge making those important decision,” Williams said.

“I just want to see more parental and teacher involvement," Cohn said. "That seemed to work best when children were going to school."

Cohn also said he was also concerned about the economy.

“I’m worried about the direction of the country right now under the current administration,” he said. “(I’m) looking for some change — looking for some new leadership to make a difference.”

As of 4:20 p.m., about 164,000 people voted on Florida Primary Day — more than 110,000 others cast their vote early.
