At age 6, Amber Mariano knew what she wanted to do with her life: Become president of the United States. 

In November of 2016, just days after her 21st birthday, she took a great step in that direction when she became the youngest person EVER elected to the Florida House of Representatives.

As a sister of Gamma Phi Beta and a full-time student, Amber had her hands full in the fall of 2016, as she campaigned to represent Florida's 36th district. It all worked out though, as she claimed 50.5 percent of the vote, edging out her opponent by a narrow margin.

In this episode you'll hear:

How Amber first became interested in politics

Why she decided to run

What she's learned since getting elected

and much more.
