There are approximately forty-five elected state representatives in the United States under the age of thirty and they are a new generation of leader. Margaret Croke won her Illinois State Representative seat on March 17, literally days before the United States was overtaken by a global pandemic, now she is faced with guiding the State of Illinois through the worst economic recovery that the United States has experienced since the Great Depression. But Representative-Elect Croke didn't just win her election, she was the only woman running against four men, she was eight months pregnant and she was knocking on doors in the middle of winter and standing for hours at a time outside coffee shops and voting stations shaking hands and asking for votes. There may be a new generation of leaders in the United States but their experience is beyond their years. Enjoy our conversation as Margaret walks all of us through an experience by which you will be astonished.
