‘I voted for Kamala Harris and here's why that was the best option for me as a Christian’

‘When it comes to key issues like poverty, healthcare, gun violence, and the environment, the Democratic party is most aligned with my Christian values,’ says American, Jamie Phear.

Living in the UK during another contentious U.S. election spared me from the endless flood of campaign ads, but not from the hateful rhetoric echoing through a divided nation. Like so many others, I was eager for my vote to count.

Over the last year, I’ve spent time in prayer asking God to help me see American politics through the lens of Jesus. I’ve prayed for the candidates, thoughtfully read through their policies, and asked God for wisdom. Last week, along with over 150 million of my fellow Americans, I voted in the way that best reflected my Christian values. This year, that meant I voted for Harris.
