Cate Edwards

Scholastic Kids interview candidates' children
 

Cate Edwards: 21, senior at Princeton University majoring in politics

Evelyn Velez: What is it about your father that you think makes him the right choice for President?
Cate: I think he’s very very optimistic. He really has a lot of hope for this country and for our future, which I think is important especially for the youth, because it is our future, literally and he also has real solutions to the problems that he sees. I also have known him my entire life and whenever he puts his mind to something, he gets it done. // when he was a lawyer he would really, really fight for the people that he represented. He wouldn't stop. He worked very very hard and wouldn't stop until he got the job done.

EV: Does watching your father’s campaign make you want to run for office?
CATE: I would like to work in politics, but I don't think I would want to run for office myself. I'm personally not very good at public speaking and a lot of the things that I consider to be important attributes for a person running for office, or a person in office. I’m actually more interested in the issues side of it than the more strategic political side.

EV: How much influence do you have on your father? What are some of the things you've introduced him to in pop culture—things he wouldn’t normally know about if you hadn't shown him?
CATE: I make him watch my favorite show all the time. When he’s home and we want to watch TV I always make him watch Friends, my favorite TV show. And he actually really likes it now. And I try to play music and give him little quizzes about pop culture just to tease him.

EV: What was the funniest thing you've ever seen your dad do?
CATE: I'd have to say dance. He’s really not a good dancer. I've made so much fun of him, he just now does it to entertain me. It’s very funny.
