This could be the nicest thing you read today, via the Wall Street Journal:
A West Virginia University freshman who did most of her campaigning out of her dorm room became the youngest state lawmaker in the nation Tuesday.
Republican Saira Blair, a fiscally conservative 18-year-old, will represent a small district in West Virginia’s eastern panhandle, about 1½ hours outside Washington, D.C., after defeating her Democratic opponent 63% to 30%, according to the Associated Press. A third candidate got 7% of the vote.
In a statement, Ms. Blair thanked her supporters and family, as well as her opponents for running a positive campaign. “History has been made tonight in West Virginia, and while I am proud of all that we have accomplished together, it is the future of this state that is now my singular focus,” she said.
Ms. Blair campaigned on a pledge to work to reduce certain taxes on businesses, and she also holds antiabortion and pro-gun positions. She defeated Democrat Layne Diehl, a 44-year-old Martinsburg attorney, whose top priorities included improving secondary education and solving the state’s drug epidemic.

I don’t see a problem with an 18-year old office holder. Most elected Democrats act like five-year olds.
Marie- I said listen to ME! ME! ME!
When you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that yelps is the one got hit.
Questions? Call my cell. Gotta love it.
I guess they’ll be afraid of Elise Stefanik, too, just elected from NY 21st as the country’s youngest Congresswoman at age 30. No war on these young women! God bless them for believing in We The People.
I wish that all Repubs stated their political views & positions as simple & eloquent as Saira Blair did. No wonder the liberal left hates her so much! She’s is honest, forthright, with conservative (& Biblical views I might add) views & positions.
Go Saira!
..........and, I will tell you one thing, her forthright, lay all my cards on the table and defend them, is refreshing...........and probably why she won!
The liberals are angry because she rocked the vote.
Fluke was hatched April 17, 1981.
Liberals want 18 year olds to vote. They just don’t want them to win Republican seats.
