Rose McCaffrey Politics

 Hi MA! I decided to give you a little bit of insight into what I did to get involved in politics! You are never too young to be involved in politics! The earliest memory I have of politics is with my dad. He's a union guy and has been since I was a child. We would do stand outs on Election Day. He asked me about wanting Hillary Clinton to be the first female President. I said I didn't want her to win, and I wanted to be the first Female President.  I joined my school's Model Congress team during my freshman year of high school, to try to get some more exposure to politics. I competed with the program for my entire years of high school. My senior year, I won a full tuition scholarship to AIC to further my education. As a freshman when COVID hit, I was very unsure what I was going to do. I applied for an internship with the Committee to Re-elect Congressman Richard Neal. I worked with him all summer making phone calls and knocking on doors ensuring a win for the Congressman.

 Hi MA! Donald Trump has announced his 2024 Presidential bid. What does this mean for Gen Z? Do we have any ideas on who else is going to run for President? I personally think it might be too early to say who is going to run, and I totally think Trump announced his bid for President after the midterms to try to outshine the 2022 Midterm Elections. However, this does mean a lot for Generation Z. Prime example 1: if you think Gen Z had high numbers in 2022, just wait until you see what the voter turnout in 2024. Especially if the Republican candidate is Donald Trump. However, the problem comes from that we do not know who will run from the Democratic Party. It is uncertain who that might be. Example 2: Gen Z will likely have high employment with these campaigns or different lobbying groups. It will be interesting to see what happens here. Have a great day MA!
