25-year-old Jewish woman may become the youngest congressman

If the 25-year-old Jew is able to lure thousands of her peers to the electoral destinations of 7 June, and they cast their votes in favor of the California Democratic Party, then she can easily become the youngest person in the US House of Representatives (the lower house of the United States Congress) - and be the youngest woman ever elected to Congress.

The pride of our millennium - Erin Schrod, despite his youth, has long been on the right path to success.

At the age of 13, she founded Turning Green, a national non-profit organization that promotes environmental awareness and education. In the 2010 year, after the tragic earthquake in Haiti, Schrod founded The Schoolbag, which provides school supplies to needy students around the world.

Such vigorous activity brought her honor from the Jewish community, including a place in the list of the most inspiring Jewish adolescents, and a $ 36 000 prize from the teen program of Tikun Olam Foundation (“Make the World a Better”).

Now, native Northern California has faced a serious problem in the party race against the current representative of 2-th California constituency Jared Huffman. This county stretches from the Oregon border to the Golden Gate Bridge. Huffman has already collected about $ 620 000 - compared to $ 2250 from Schrod. However, novice politician Erin Schrod's name is constantly found in media headlines across the country.

Shrode never in her life imagined that she would become a politician. Her life is a social work, but now she feels that she can do the most good in politics. The girl outlined four main political directions: environment and public health; education and employment; human rights; technological progress.

Shrod grew up in California. One of her earliest memories was a box for tsdaki (donations) on the table of her grandmother in a house in Philadelphia. This idea has been pleasant to the girl since childhood.

“In California, where I grew up, I went to Temple Emmanuel in San Francisco. I had my bat mitzvah there, and I think it is the most beautiful synagogue on earth. The Tikkun Olam Foundation has become a guiding force in my life. Restoring the world is our core mission, isn't it? If more people understood this, followed us, lived according to our values, we could significantly improve life on earth!” said the young politician.
