Why should someone trust a 22, fresh 22-year-old with a vote in the Texas legislature?

Matthias EarlyGUEST
So, first of all, I just like people to keep in mind that maybe I'm not how they were when they were 22.

Matthias EarlyGUEST
No, no, no. It's important that we have experience and people who have lived a full life in the legislature.

Matthias EarlyGUEST
But at the same time, whenever you have experience or somebody who's been there for a long time, there comes with a fog with that wisdom and the fog that tells us this is all we are, this is all we can be.

On your first day, if you get this seat, what are you making big noise about? What are you standing ten toes on?

Matthias EarlyGUEST
Why are you running for House District 20? Because I could talk about education, healthcare, workers' rights, but at the end of the day, I don't see a future for people my age, for my friends, for my family.

Matthias EarlyGUEST
And whatever happens, we need to make sure that people's livelihoods are protected.

Matthias EarlyGUEST
Whatever goes on with AI, we need to make sure that people have the means to survive.

Matthias EarlyGUEST
And we have to make sure that there is somebody backing the people who... have not yet started their careers or are just beginning them.

Matthias EarlyGUEST
Because right now in Texas, most of them are retired or they're a lawyer, they own their own practice, they're a doctor.
