Last week, I was contacted by a reporter for Huffington Post, who was interested in doing an article about the youngest legislators in the United States.  Turns out, I'm number six on the list for youngest legislators, clocking in at twenty-two. 


Set up a phone interview time and we had about a fifteen-minute interview about my whole experience of becoming a State Legislator.  Earlier this week, the article went up on Huff-Po and can be found here:  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/22/youngest-legislators-america_n_6680330.html if you'd like to read up more on some of the young people who've gotten involved in state politics.


Certainly been a bit overwhelming, being thrust into an environment dominated by (generally) significantly older and often more experienced counterparts, so it was reassuring to realize that many of the other young state legislators had similar experiences.  Also has been interesting to get in touch with them and gather more info on their policy concerns, proposals, experiences, etc.

Blog Proposal

Last semester, I was elected to the NH Statehouse as a State Representative.  Blog postings will reflect my experiences in the Statehouse, significant bills and issues being proposed and discussed and general comments about life as a college student and elected official.  A sitting member of the Election Law Committee, I'll also make posts about bills that come through the Committee.  Primary focus of my blog posts will revolve around the ideology and concepts floating around the Statehouse.  From time to time, I may draw comparisons to other states, comment about national politics and take a global, comparative perspective at policies or issues I focus on. 


This blog was initiated for my Web Expressions college course.
