Meet the 22-year-old candidate approved by Obama who is running for the Connecticut State Senate.







Former president Barack Obama He issued a second wave of endorsements on Monday.



With them is the 22-year-old Democratic candidate Will Haskell, who is running for the state Senate in the 26th Congressional District of Connecticut.



"It's an important reason why I decided to run for office," Haskell said of Obama. "In his farewell address, he called for action. He said: "If you are disappointed by your elected officials, take a clipboard, get some signatures and apply for the position yourself." I was disappointed by my state senator ... so that's exactly what I did. "



Haskell grew up in Westport, Connecticut, and graduated from Georgetown University in 2018. He did an internship on Capitol Hill whenever possible, and has accumulated considerable experience for a 22-year-old, he said.



Haskell has also secured the support of US Sen. Chris Murphy, who campaigned with state Democrats in a fight to keep control of Democrats in the Senate.

His campaign is replete with progressive promises, which include the updating of environmental policies and protections, stricter legislation on weapons and the revitalization of the state's strictly growing economy.



The population is expected to grow 1.7 percent by 2040, according to the Connecticut State Data Center at the University of Connecticut Library. That's largely due to an increase in people leaving the state, according to The Connecticut Mirror.



Haskell wants to fight the slow growth with better transport, asking for more road tolls and improvements to the railway infrastructure, according to his campaign site.



"The economic vitality of our region is so intimately tied to Manhattan," Haskell said. "We are not making long-term transportation investments, and that is holding back this state."



Haskell is running against Republican incumbent Toni Boucher, who has represented the district since 1996. Boucher held two exploratory runs for the governorship, but finished his most recent after a delay in fundraising, which prevented him from participating in the forums of the Republican Party. She is known in the state house for her strict opposition to the more relaxed marijuana laws.



Haskell's candidacy comes with a wave of Democrats who face GOP holders across the country. He said that the responsibility for change falls increasingly to the state legislatures.

"There was once a difference, perhaps, between state and national problems, but there is a new role for state legislatures to join the board," Haskell said. "We can not count on Congress or the Supreme Court fighting against Donald Trump's agenda, so now the responsibility falls on Hartford."



"I think that is the most inspiring thing about President Obama's decision to get involved in careers like mine, where, frankly, the presidents of the United States do not usually influence," he added. Know the importance of what happens in the buildings of the state capital. "
