Saira Blair, a Republican from West Virginia, is the youngest elected lawmaker in the country.
Blair, 18, destroyed her 44-year-old Democratic opponent 63 percent to 30 percent to earn a seat in West Virginia’s House of Delegates.
Blair – who beat a two-term incumbent in the primary when she was just 17, too young to even vote for herself – said in an interview in May that she wants to borrow ideas from Texas to bring more jobs to West Virginia.
A West Virginia University freshman, Blair, did most of her campaigning out of her dorm room.
