This 17-Year-Old Just Won A Primary In West Virginia And The Reason Why Is Awesome: Many within the GOP recognize a need for the party to attract not only younger voters, but younger elected representatives. The perception that Republicans are primarily older Americans is an issue that has plagued party leaders for years.
If West Virginia teen Saira Blair is any indication, though, the future could be very bright for up-and-coming conservative candidates. At just 17 years old, politicians rarely come any younger than the upbeat young woman who just successfully beat incumbent state Delegate Larry Klump in her state’s recent primary election.
A successful campaign in the general election would make her West Virginia’s youngest legislator ever.
It is not just her age that sets her apart from other prospective representatives across America. Not only did she promise to keep her campaign completely positive; her basic platform outlines the issues she supports – pro-life, pro-gun, pro-family, pro-business, pro-jobs – rather than focusing on what she opposes.
