LeMaire for District 51 House of Delegates

Ignite the Fire Within!

Hi, I’m Zach LeMaire, a high school student at Morgantown High School (MHS) and I’m running for the Libertarian Nomination for District 51 House of Delegates in 2020. I am a High School Libertarian who wants to get his start in politics. I am part of the wave of new politicians who have come from a thing called Political Simulators or Mock Governments. These mock govs are on the social media platform Instagram and simulate the IRL governments of countries like the US, UK, Canada, France, Russia, and so many others. The main focus of mock governments is to simulate the Government of the United States.

I first got interested in politics in early 2016 when I was scrolling through my Instagram suggested feed and came across a thing called “American Government Simulation” (AGS) on January 2. I sent a direct message (dm) to the account and asked to join and joined what soon became a big part of my life alongside Boy Scouts and Church. AGS was the thing that kept me going in life when times were rough and I had nothing else to look forward to accept getting home and getting on my AGS account. I met a variety of people including one individual name Matthew Geiger, a leader within the Libertarian Youth Caucus (LYC) who helped me get my start in real life politics. Through him I was able to become Executive State Director of the Libertarian Youth Caucus with which I helped start MHS’s Young Republicans club.

Throughout my time as State Director, I have been receiving a lot of comments saying that people feel that they aren’t accurately represented by the people who claim to represent them. I made a promise to those people run for House of Delegates straight out of high school to make sure that they were accurately represented by people who had similar views to them. If I am elected, my first bill will to be about getting younger people like myself involved earlier into politics. Whether you older adults believe so or not, someday people like your kids or grandkids will be running the country and I aim to help prepare them for it.

Even though the chance of a high school student getting elected to a position which has an average age of people in their 50s is low, it doesn’t mean that what I have to offer will be any less significant. As your District 51 Representative, I will listen to your requests and my staff and I will work to make sure that your voice is heard. But none of this will happen without your support. I need you to help me make this dream of the youth being involved in politics a reality. Thank you for your consideration and God Bless America.
