I think it'd be fun for me to have a tiny, minor role. I don't want to run for President, merely exist and engage with this world.
Priti Sharma (D-ID)
Birthday: September 30th, 1993 (age 29)
Ideology: Libertarian Democrat
Family: Dating Owen Anderson (age 30)
Offices held: Ada County Sheriff (2013-2019)
United States Representative for Idaho's 1st Congressional District (2019-)
Defying all odds, Priti Sharma, a Democrat and the daughter of immigrants in Idaho, of all places, managed to win some extremely difficult races.
As a teenager, Priti won the olympic gold medal for Women's skeet, rifle three positions, and trap shooting at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, obviously representing USA. She repeated her hat trick feat in 2012 in London, earning a total of six gold medals.
Elected to be the sheriff of Ada County, the most populous county in Idaho and home of Boise, at the ripe old age of 19, while still attending Boise State University, Priti quickly captured the attention of national Democratic leaders. When an opportunity arose in 2018 with the retirement of Rep Raul Labrador to run for Governor, Sharma was encouraged to run for the House. Despite the district having a lean of R+21, Sharma managed to eek out a win thanks to the endorsement of the Libertarian Party, and defeated the former Lieutenant Governor of Idaho, David H. Leroy, thanks to an energetic campaign and capitalizing on her youth, with Leroy being three times as old as Sharma. Sharma won with 49.8% of the vote, compared to Leroy's 49.2%.
Despite being deemed "the most vulnerable Democrat in the House," Sharma turned out to be a master of retail politics, as well as being unafraid to vote against her party on many issues. Sharma won reelection by consecutively larger margins in 2020 and 2022.
She began dating the son of Utah Senator Henry Anderson, Owen, in the summer of 2021.
(Hope this is okay, GoTfan!)
