<p><strong>By Andrew Kuder / Broadcast version by Mary Schuermann reporting for the Kent State-Ohio News Connection Collaboration.&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>Sam Lawrence is running for an Ohio Statehouse seat at 19 years old.&nbsp;</p> <p>"I've always been one of the kids who watched the news, and I knew what was going on, not to the full extent of, kind of obviously, what I'm involved with now," said Lawrence. "[It was] probably right before high school or early in high school when I really found kind of this interest in the politics of it all, not just in the campaigning, but also in the public service aspect once someone is elected."&nbsp;</p> <p>Lawrence, a political science major running as a Democrat in Ohio's 47th district, hopes his campaign will inspire other Ohioans his age to get more involved in politics."</p> <p>You can <a href="https://cash.app/app/ZFZWZGF">get $5 for free if you sign up for Cash App</a>.</p> <p><strong>How you can connect with us</strong></p> <p><a href="https://viewfromthepugh.club/subscribe-to-the-podcast-2/">Subscribe to the podcast</a></p> <p><a href="https://viewfromthepugh.club/support-the-show/">Ways you can support the show</a></p> <p><a href="https://viewfromthepugh.club/category/podcast/">Check out our latest podcasts</a></p> <p><a href="https://viewfromthepugh.club/connect-with-me/">Connect with Chris Pugh on social media</a></p> <p><a href="https://viewfromthepugh.club/save-money/">Ways you can save money</a></p> <p><a href="https://viewfromthepugh.club/big-contest-page/">Check out our latest contests</a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theohioan/message
