Caroline Bennet shares what it's like to campaign for 'the ultimate long-shot candidate' — who just so happens to be her dad MichaelBennet NHPrimary
You might wonder why a 20-year-old college sophomore from Colorado, attending school in Connecticut, would have spent all but one weekend of the last few months driving 250 miles from New Haven, CT, to New Hampshire and back again toI make the trips because I’m wholeheartedly committed to a candidate who may not have the highest poll numbers, but who has the most ambitious vision for our country — Michael Bennet.
Then came a moment I didn’t expect: My father sat us all down and asked what we thought of the possibility of him running for president. My sisters and I were on board. And although my mom worried about the scrutiny families often endure in a national campaign, she ultimately told us, “This feels like something good that we can do for you all and for your generation.”had already jumped in the race, and my dad was not a typical politician.
New Hampshire is a lot like Colorado. They are both mountainous , and Granite Staters and Coloradans spend their lives outdoors, skiing, hiking, and hunting. They understand that climate change is real and are desperate to address the crisis urgently. The states are also similar politically, split evenly among Democrats, Independents, and Republicans. Traveling around, we often feel at home.
It wasn’t easy leaving my college campus every weekend to campaign up north for my father. One week, I spent the ride home reading a 500-page biography of Lyndon B. Johnson for class; another night, after a full day of events, I stayed up finishing a biology assignment. My dad felt guilty about the time I spent away from school. But I loved meeting people who took their role in this democracy as seriously as our family did.
