VIDEO: Kesha Ram Rocks The House
Posted September 18, 2008 at 6:51 PM

When 22-year-old Kesha Ram speaks, people listen. And when people speak, Kesha listens.

Kesha just graduated from the University of Vermont, where she served as student body president, and now she's running for the Vermont House of Representatives. She'll be the the youngest member, and the only person of color in the Statehouse. During her campaign, she's knocked on every door in her district (all 2,000 of them, and that's not including the college dorms), but it's not just Vermonters who want to hear what Kesha has to say. Barack Obama pointed her out as a young woman who's going to change American politics. Check out why Kesha is going to be the one to bring 'change' to Vermont.
