“She’s living proof for all the young people that they can influence and succeed and still stay true to their values and keep their integrity. In a world full of populist politicians and manufactured news we need more people like her.”

Marin, a millennial raised by two mothers, is personally invested in forwarding causes like equality and environmentalism.
No greenhorn, Marin has been active in Finnish politics since 2012 and is well respected. Marin’s election contributes to the conversation about the place of age in politics, a major talking point of the, in which a generation separates the oldest and youngest candidates. With several Democratic candidates in their 70s, and President Trump himself aged 73, the election’s outcome could result in America having its oldest elected president ever.
Maturity isn’t a synonym for wisdom. The question is, does it mean politics as usual? Disruption has been a keyword of the 2010s—what form that concept will take in the politics of the new decade, and if Marin will usher in a new, more compassionate, age of politics remains to be seen, but it’s exciting to see her being given the chance to try.
