At age 18, Blair is youngest state
lawmaker in America after her victory
over her Democratic opponent for a seat in West Virginia's House of Delegates.
Sara Blair, who is a West Virginia
University freshman, said she would take off spring semester to attend the legislature’s 60-day session in
Charleston.
She'll be deciding on measures
from a fiscally
conservative perspective with hopes of reducing taxes for
businesses.
She
reportedly contributed $4,000 to her own campaign to
let voters knew she was serious.
She later took to Facebook to
express her gratitude, saying that "my generation’s voice, fresh
perspective and innovative ideas can help solve some of our state’s most
challenging issues."
Her father, Craig Blair, is
currently a state senator in the United States.
