Nick Langworthy was still an undergraduate student when he launched his political career, managing his first congressional campaign while juggling college classes. It started a trend for him.
“I was always below the median age on everything,” the New York Republican says. “I was the youngest county chair at 29, the youngest state chair at 38. Those age ranges were just unheard of for those positions.”
He finished up his senior year of college while working as a district staffer for then-Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y., who became an influential figure in his life, Langworthy says. He went on to run Reynolds’ 2006 reelection bid, a campaign he calls his “master’s degree.”
