18-Year-Old Saira Blair Becomes America’s Youngest State Lawmaker (Photos)

18-year-old Saira Blair, a Republican from West Virginia, just became the youngest elected lawmaker in the country after trouncing her 44-year-old Democratic opponent 63 percent to 30 percent to earn a seat in West Virginia’s House of Delegates.

She will be representing the 59th district of 18,000 people in West Virginia’s eastern panhandle, not far from Washington, D.C.

Saira is not stepping into an unfamiliar territory; her dad Craig Blair who is currently a state Senator, served in the House of Delegates for eight years.

    What got me really interested is not the age but the look-like she will be when she turn 50, am very sure she still be in politics by then. My perfect advice for young Saire blair is to be humble and loyal to all of the rest lawmaker.

    This is where you can say that the youths are leaders of tomorrow, not in Nigeria where people will want to die in their political seats.
