Ian Sons, 38, poses near the parking lot Nov. 3 outside the University Elementary School polling location in Bloomington. “When I vote for people, when I’m thinking about government,” Sons said. “I feel like their responsibility is to care for and protect the people. That’s what guides me, is who do I think is going to help those less fortunate than themselves and who cares enough about our community and each other, to be of service rather than to find a way to elevate their own position.” Wei Wang
