Economy, Proposal 3 top voter concerns Tuesday morning 

Updated 10:25 a.m. Nov. 8, 2022 

For many voters who headed to the polls early, the economy and Proposal 3 were at the top of their minds. Several voters said they were concerned about the rising cost of gas and consumer goods and hoped their candidate choices would quell rising inflation. 

“The biggest issue in the economy,” said Lisa Parisio as she stood outside her polling location in Port Huron.  

Several voters voiced opposition to Proposal 3, which would amend the state constitution to establish the right to reproductive freedom. Port Huron voter Nathan Drake said he is against abortion and believes the proposal is too extreme and deceptive in its language.  

“It’s horrific,” he said.  

Other voters voiced support for the divisive proposal. Jenna Worden, another Port Huron voter, was exercising her right to vote for the first time at age 18 with her mother, Julie Worden.   

Both mother and daughter said they support Proposal 3 and a woman’s right to make their own decisions.  

“I feel like everybody should have a choice of their own body,” Jenna Worden said.
