On a recent episode of The Rashad Richey Morning Show , listeners had the pleasure of hearing an inspiring conversation with a forward-thinking political candidate. State Representative District 153 candidate, Joshua Anthony , a 21-year-old college student majoring in economics at Georgia State University, shared his vision for revitalizing and transforming Albany, GA. The interview was a testament to the power of young leadership and a reminder that great things can happen when innovative ideas are put into action.
During the interview, Mr. Anthony was asked about his motivation for taking on such a challenge. In response, he explained how Albany has been struggling for the past 40 years due to the lack of change and new leadership. Furthermore, he emphasized the importance of building a community that works for everyone, rather than catering to specific demographics or individuals, in order to ensure future success.
Despite his youth, Mr. Anthony is no stranger to politics. He has been involved since the age of 14, working on various initiatives such as a reading literacy program for K-2 students. His interest in politics stems from his family; his grandfather was a pastor who taught him the importance of building community, and his mother's struggles have motivated him to create a better future for the working-class community in Albany, Georgia.
Mr. Anthony believes it's time for something new and fresh, and his campaign is focused on revitalizing and transforming the community of Albany. He has a five-year plan that he hopes will connect with people of all ages, and he is enthusiastic about mobilizing voting efforts through Albany State University (ASU). Mr. Anthony believes that personal conversations are more effective than campaign ads in connecting with voters, and he intends to have genuine conversations with people of all ages to understand their needs and concerns.
Mr. Anthony's campaign is tackling issues such as healthcare, education, and economic development. His platform is focused on creating a vibrant and healthy community that promotes growth and progress for everyone. He understands the challenges of convincing elderly voters to support a 21-year-old candidate but believes that his track record of community involvement and his commitment to the community's well-being will speak for themselves.
It is to no surprise that Mr. Anthony's leadership and passion serve as an inspiration to young people everywhere who want to make a change in their communities. He reminds us that age is just a number, and that young people have a unique perspective and insight that can benefit us all. His dedication to building a better future for himself, his family, and his community is a testament to his character and commitment to public service.
