Ruben Gallegos was born in 1979. He’s 44, not 60.I have time though I'm only 24 years old. That person is probably in their 60s.I graduated got my degree communication and media. Had a job working in social media and marketing.
That's it? That's all you've done?
And you "had" a job working in "social media and marketing." So you don't have that job anymore? Wow.
For shits and grins, I looked up a US Congressman I've actually talked to from my state. Ruben Gallego graduated from Harvard, joined the Marines after college, then after serving in combat in Iraq came home, served as a Chief of Staff for a Phoenix City Council member, and went onto become vice chair of the AZ Democratic Party. He followed that up by being elected to the AZ State House, spent a few years in state politics before running for the US Congress. He's been reelected 3 times now and is on a path to become a US Senator.
How does your resume stack up to that, sport? Because if you want to be elected to the United States House of Representatives AND be taken seriously, that's the kind of resume you need.
I am looking to have that type of resume though.
Yeah those are good ideas I am currently running for a spot in my state to start out.So...apply to an Ivy League school. Join the Marines or whatever branch of the military appeals to you. Work for a city council member or local politician to learn the ropes. Run for the state house in whatever state you live in, and after you've got some experience under your belt go for the big prize.
Or...keep arguing with people on a back corner of the internet and see how that works out for you.
I found that out in under 30 seconds by googling his name. I knew he was substantially younger than 60 but I wanted to be as accurate as possible in my post.
I honestly do not mean to be rude here but you seem to lack the work ethic required to be a politician. Your motivation for wanting to hold office seems to be to impose your world view on others, rather than to serve your state or your country or your fellow citizens. And yet, you seem to lack the very basics of understanding public office or public service, the basic workings of government in any level, or the foundations of this country.
