LOS ANGELES — Judy Nguyen is frustrated that anyone with enough money or the right connections can run as a candidate in an election. She’s disappointed she hasn’t seen immediate, tangible change under President Joe Biden. And she feels for Americans who are trying to survive in an era when gas prices are skyrocketing and baby formula is scarce.
But she realizes she’s also part of the problem.
“I’m one of those people who talk like, oh, I want change, but then I don’t always vote,” Nguyen said as stood in the shade with her baby in a Brea shopping plaza. “I know I’m in a way at fault, but sometimes it’s just so hard to know who to believe” and who to vote for, she said.
