23-Year-Old Karoline Leavitt Launches Bid for Congress
New York Post ^ | July 20, 2021 | Steven Nelson and Juliegrace Brufke

Posted on 07/20/2021 12:50:10 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A 20-something Republican is launching her campaign for Congress Tuesday, seeking to unseat a New Hampshire Democrat — by specifically running against 78-year-old President Biden’s policies and what she calls the “tyrannical … corruption” of New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Karoline Leavitt, 23, a 2019 college graduate, would be 25 when she takes office if she defeats two-term Rep. Chris Pappas next year in the swing district. She entered the race with significant national support after working at the White House for former President Donald Trump and then for upstate New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.

“People here, more than any state in the union, value our freedom and our liberty, and we have a federal delegation that is made up of Democrats right now who are voting in favor of policies that are infringing on our freedoms, whether it’s gun control measures, whether it’s higher taxes, whether it’s more regulations on our businesses,” Leavitt told The Post.

I read the article, and she sure says the right things. Plus she is pretty good looking and wears red dresses in front of grand automobiles.

I always like that combination...good inside and out.

Both sides of the aisle are moving in this direction. Young, attractive people with hardly any real-world experience. They care more about their Instagram following than they do about the future of this country. IMHO.

Not sure we can characterize this young lady that way.

Granted, she is young. But Thomas Jefferson was barely into his thirties when the War of Independence began to seriously heat up.

If someone tells me they are all in for someone owning guns under the Second Amendment, that infringements on personal liberty with vaccination and masking mandates are not an American value, and that abortion is a bad thing, if they genuinely mean it, I will take them at their word and not assume they are posturing for political gain...until they show me otherwise.

That is a smart looking woman, no doubt.

I get what you’re saying, but I think it might be a reaction to far too large a number of those in office who sleep in a sarcophagus.

I don’t mind seeing this play out a little. I was kinda hoping that AOC would give Pelosi a thrombo.

Sadly, I think the left will do what they can to destroy her life at 25. And why not? It’s not as if the people will make them pay for their evil.

She’s the one running for Congress on the “Young Conservative Hotties” ticket.

Granted, she is young. But Thomas Jefferson was barely into his thirties when the War of Independence began to seriously heat up.

Which means he was still eight to ten years older than she is.

I've thought about it and I've decided why I don't like the current trend of young, attractive people with no experience running for political offices:

Politics should not be a career, IMHO. It should be a temporary service that decent people are called to. This young woman, like AOC, is trying to set herself up for a career as a politician. Bernie Sanders and Biden did the same thing as youngsters.

Again, this is all my opinion, but I don't think "politician" should a career choice.

Yep. Putting the cart in front of the horse is en vogue today, in every facet of life.

There’s a reason Lieutenants are 20 and Lt. Colonels are 40 and that reason is EXPERIENCE.

Hamilton and Monroe were very young men (late teens, very early 20s) when the Deceleration was signed and both joined the Continental Army soon thereafter as Lieutenants. They both served with distinction, Monroe leading men in combat and Hamilton as Washington’s Sr. aide.

They went to law school and had careers where they generated even more experience and ‘stuff learnin.’ THEN they embarked on political careers...still as reasonably young men of 30 or so.

I’m sure this young person a fine young lady. But, I’m guessing she’s no Hamilton or Monroe - very few are - and neither of them decided to enter politics before they experienced life and accomplished some things.

She’s 23. Her brain is not even fully developed yet. She’s still operating too much on emotion. Probably.
