Saira Blair (born July 11, 1996) is an American student and politician from Martinsburg, West Virginia. After the 2014 general election, she became a Republican Party Delegate in the 59th district of the West Virginia House of Delegates. Blair is a freshman studying finance at West Virginia University. She plans a career as a financial advisor and does not plan to continue a career in politics. Blair's father is Craig Blair, a Republican member of the West Virginia Senate.〔 In the May 2014 Republican primary, she defeated two-term incumbent delegate Larry Kump by 54.5% to 45.5% in the 59th district, which encompasses portions of Berkeley County and Morgan County. Kump said that he was not surprised he lost, citing his independent voting record and the district's desire for a delegate who would conform better to the party line. In November 2014, she defeated Democratic Party nominee, Layne Diehl, also of Martinsburg, in the general election by 62.69% to 30.38%, making her the youngest elected legislator in the United States. She was elected in the first election in which she was old enough to vote, and won the Republican primary at the age of 17, before she was eligible to vote. Blair identifies as fiscally conservative, "pro-marriage" and "pro-family", opposes the morning-after pill〔 and abortion rights, even in the cases of rape and incest. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saira Blair」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
