In many states you have to be a resident in the district he/she wants to serve and represent. Yo must be at least 25 years old, keeping in mind that less than 4% of lawmakers are under than age of 31 so it is very unlikely to be elected so young.]]> 2018-09-17 00:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/erin_hawley/bqidf5vnuqx2/wish/282066349 erin_hawley https://padlet.com/erin_hawley/bqidf5vnuqx2/wish/282067190 Something really awesome about State Legislators is how diverse the group is becoming.

People are always allowed to observe and participate in school board meetings that their district holds. (Chapter 8, Lesson 2)
You can also partake in neighborhood associations, civic groups and citizen advisory groups as well! ]]> 2018-09-17 01:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/erin_hawley/bqidf5vnuqx2/wish/282067534
