Our millennial population is becoming politically active and supporting Bernie Sanders. In Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania, we actually have a young millennial, Beth Gilbert, who is emerging as a political superstar and she is one of the youngest ever to be elect to city council. She campaigned on a traditional platform that included a crack down on blighted properties, open communications with all residents, a balance between the downtown and the neighborhoods, and stressed her love for the community. I will continue to report on her career, and I would like to know what aspects of this story interest you.

It's advisable to always mention to which party a candidate belongs. MyLot is a global site. You can't assume that all members have intimate knowledge of US politics.

Thanks so much for the e-mail, and you are exactly right. Beth Gilbert is a Democrat. Thank you so much for taking an interest in our young people.
