VIDEO:  I'm just a young guy running for office
 
 
Two young men running for office in the state of Colorado both twenty something’s and yet both hold deep convictions. Muhammad Ali Hasan is a 27 year old Muslim Republican who is seeking the political favor of House District 56 in Colorado. Joe Neguse is a 23 year old second year law student who is running as a Democrat for the University of Colorado at Boulder’s Board of Regents.

Interesting video. You might look into Aspen Institute to engage with their young emerging leaders program.

nicely covered and a cool topic choice. I also thought the republican had some really interesting things to say.

Wow! This was such a profound piece and an amazing way to present it in the compare/contrast of the two candidates. These two will be a fun election to watch!
