Local High School Students Found Political Blog – Politics Explained to Help Educate Youth

July 13, 2024

High school students Evan Kim and Alex Desantis-Baugh from the Bullis School founded a political blog called Politics Explained. With a mission to provide youth with a resource to form their own opinions, this blog is centered around non-partisan weekly updates solely on US politics. The blogs are kept short and concise, and cover the most pressing topics of the week. Additionally, Evan and Alex conduct interviews, providing personal insights into the political field. Some of their interviewees have included Senator Chris Van Hollen, House Representative David Trone, the Director of Legislative Affairs for Kamala Harris Andy Flick, and many more.

In such a politically divided society, Evan and Alex hope to play their part in fostering more unity and understanding. They also hope to spark conversation within the youth that pushes their generation forward in a positive manner. By educating their classmates and fellow high schoolers about the upcoming election, they aim to provide as much information as possible so that each individual can choose the candidate they resonate with the most. Although the focus is towards youth, Politics Explained can most certainly be utilized by any one who wishes to keep up with the ever changing political climate nowadays.
