Aoife Khan, Texas

What if teenagers felt they had a voice in the future of our country? This election season, the Student Reporting Labs network of more than 100 schools across the country asked middle and high school students to talk to the next president about the issues they feel need to be addressed.

Texas student Aoife Khan feels the new state law allowing guns on Texas college campuses makes students less safe and wants gun control to be a major focus for the next president.
