Saira Blair: A Millenial Delegate with Old-Fashioned Values
College student and Republican Saira Blair, who became America's youngest state lawmaker Tuesday when she was elected to West Virginia's House of Delegates at age 18, urged her conservative peers Thursday to not be afraid to stand up for their values.
Blair, a West Virginia University student who ran her campaign on a "pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-Constitution" and jobs platform, told Fox News Thursday that she hoped her accomplishment would make young conservatives know that it's "okay to have the same views as your grandparents."
"There are a lot of conservatives (my age) and I think the problem is they are afraid to be open about their views because of the way they are going to be taken for it because our generation typically tend to be looked at, to tend to be liberals," said Blair.
