…and in with the hottie!
You may be asking yourself: Addy, who the hell is this adorable little college coed?
Guys! This is Vanessa Sievers! She’s a 20-year old Democrat who just defeated 68-year old Carol Elliott, the three-term Republican incumbent for Treasurer of Grafton County, NH!
But despite their 48-year age difference, it was Elliott who resorted to schoolyard silliness, dismissing Sievers as a “teenybopper.” Elliott also said the only reason for Sievers win was because of “brainwashed college kids.” (Note: Sievers publicized her run by placing $51 Facebook ads.)
Let’s throw a party in her honor and share our leftover Obamacakes with her!
(Or maybe these guys can spare a few:)

The Dartmouth interviewed her about it:

The mayor of Lebanon, NH, who apparently helped her get into upper valley politics, is a fairly recent Dartmouth alumna, class of 2000.
Amusingly, even though I know a bunch of Dartmouth people, the only Facebook friend I have in common with Vanessa Sievers is … Howard Dean
