Radio: Morgan Baskin a Mayoral Candidate

By -

Morgan Baskin, a high school student and active community volunteer, weighs in on lobbying for youth involvement at City Hall. After a long soliciting time, finally last week, we had her as a guest at Focus. Both on radio show and Tv show , she showed her well formed and clear thoughts on city's affairs. She described her experience through this journey. We learned that coming to mayoral candidacy, it was her own decision. And that took many people in surprise. Being too young, inexperienced in politics, she knew from the outset that she wouldn't had any chance to win the mayoral election. But what's is so encouraging is that she wanted to get youth voice being heard, weighed, measured, and considered seriously.  She believed that  her goals have been well achieved through this unexpected experience.

Thanks, 

Mori Teacher Candidate at Focus
