At a recent fireside chat hosted by West Virginia State University, Kanawha County Delegate Kayla Young discussed her motivations for public office and the need for greater female representation in politics. Young emphasized West Virginia's alarming statistic of having the lowest percentage of women in its legislature, highlighting the impact this has on the state's policies. As a local born and raised in a coal and education-focused family, she expressed the importance of such values in shaping her commitment to serve the community and encourage women to pursue political roles. This conversation resonates with residents in towns like Charles Town and Ranson, where community involvement and representation are crucial.
