They said politics isn’t for the youth — But I believe in our potential, so I ran
When I decided to run for municipal elections in Tarchich, I faced many doubts—especially as the youngest candidate ever in the region. Many people told me: “Don’t do it, you won’t win, let the older generation handle it”. But I have a vision, and I want to make a difference.
Before the elections, I was invited to a workshop on political values with FDCD, and the trainer said something that truly shifted my mindset: “It’s not about what you know, it’s about who you are.” That sentence gave me the confidence and thanks to all the discussions, I felt like I can do anything, literally.
Throughout my campaign, I repeated this sentence like a mantra. On Election Day, I was both surprised and humbled by the number of young people who came forward, offering their support and telling me how inspired they were to get involved in politics. Many of them stayed with me late into the night, until 2:30 a.m., waiting for the results. Their presence filled me with hope.

When I won, even the young people from the opposing list—who were working with a 29-year-old woman candidate, who also won—immediately called to congratulate me!
Honestly, I thought I’d gloat if I won, especially to those who doubted me. But when it happened, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Instead, I felt the weight of responsibility. I congratulated all the candidates—on my list and my adversaries—and said, “Let’s build Tarchich together.”
Young people have great potential and deserve support in politics. I have a vision for our region: creating job opportunities for our youth, improving healthcare, and making Tarchich a place where everyone can thrive. I hope anyone who wants to collaborate and put the public good first will join us and lend a hand—I know we can make it happen together.
