Whittier City Councilmember Henry Bouchot wrote the book about running for office as a young person. Literally. As the author of A Millennial's Guide to Running for Office: How to Get Elected Without Kissing the Ring, he explains that roadblocks are there for a reason, but the traditional paths for running aren’t there anymore. He feels that as long as you believe in yourself and have a strong reason for running, you can run. Henry also reveals that you can lose the race before you even start without a plan. Our plan is to learn more about Henry, his book, and The Battlefield of Ideas on this episode of The Jed Cast!
