From Michigan's House of Representatives to MSU's Board of Trustees, aspiring students and local young politicians are hoping to make office this November and make changes they feel are needed. But convincing voters to judge them by their viewpoints and not by their age is sometimes a challenge.

Social relations sophomore Lauren Spencer is running for one of two seats on the MSU's Board of Trustees.
