Marchand backs youth political voice

Encouraging students to begin their involvement in political life, former Portsmouth, N.H. Mayor Steve Marchand focused on the possibilites for youth participation in government in a speech given to the Dartmouth College Democrats in the Rockefeller Center's 1930's room . "You have to start now getting involved; you don't have to wait until you're 40 or 50," the 34-year-old Marchand told the students attendees. "Don't let people tell you you're not old enough to participate -- that's garbage, that's folks who just don't want the competition," he said. A diversified education that extended beyond government and public policy has been instrumental to Marchand's political career, he said. As an undergraduate, Marchand majored in public relations and minored in French, which he said helped him campaign in New Hampshire. "You want to find a niche that gives you a leg up," he said. It is crucial to build relationships with people before, not after, asking them for help, Marchand said.
