"I know that all of the decisions that they`re making right now are going to have a huge impact on me, so I didn`t want to miss a chance on to make my voice heard," Syron said.
Those with the Wisconsin Federation of College Republicans say the upcoming debate has created a buzz among young voters.
"I think we`re incredibly engaged. I`m so proud to see the work that college Republicans are doing across the state," Rita Fadness, Wisconsin Federation of College Republicans chair said.
In part, that's due to the large group of candidates.

"There`s so many candidates to pick from. We`re just so excited that there`s a huge amount of diversity and depth within all the candidates," Fadness said.
These college Republicans say the GOP candidates' ideas are beginning to take hold on college campuses, and bringing the debate to Wisconsin has helped to engage more young voters.
"I think it just shows how important the state of Wisconsin is. It`s always been competitive," Pat Garrett, communication director for the Republican Party of Wisconsin said.
