At the age of 24, Paul Charbonneau was the youngest councilmember elected to serve the City of Newcastle. Hear what it took to get elected to the Newcastle City Council, as well as the process of putting ideas into action at the local municipal level.
Councilmember Charbonneau will talk about the importance of down ballot voting (e.g. completing the entire ballot), off-year voting (e.g. voting in local elections), and how youth and residents can influence the direction of their city leaders.
Open to students, faculty, and staff. Space may be limited. Encourage students to attend. If you would like to bring your class to D106, please contact rise@bellevuecollege.edu.
