Ever since he was a child, Illinois State University senior Lawrence Landfair has been enthusiastic about engaging in politics to make his mark on the world.
“I remember watching presidential debates and primaries, even though I didn’t understand what they were saying,” said Landfair, a political science and sociology double major. “But I found it interesting that there are people out there trying to make the world a better place in some capacity.”
In high school, Landfair said he was an involved student and recalled working with administration to generate change.
“As I was growing up, even though I wasn’t determining policy or anything like that, I would still advocate on behalf of people,” he said.
“You truly see the benefits of coming together and actually helping those in your direct community to see actual change.”
