South Shore state Sen. Chris Larson was on the front page of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this morning in what was a pretty positive profile.
Check it out here. From it …
At the age of 32, a time when most politicians are just getting started, he finds himself in the middle of a quick political rise.
His youth is an asset, but it could also be a liability.
He can dare to dream and win – he won a Milwaukee County supervisor position in 2008, knocked off a Democratic incumbent to take a Senate seat in 2010 and guided a new generation of Democrats to victories in 2012.
But he could still stumble and fail – three of his Democratic colleagues blew off a caucus meeting in Madison last week, and he faces the prospect of a long season of defeats in a state where Republicans hold the governorship and both houses of the Legislature.
Yet if other more seasoned politicians underestimate him – and some apparently, do – Larson doesn’t appear to be too bothered.
“You know what, I’ve always been an underdog,” he says. “I think it’s greatly appropriate because I like to fight for the underdog.”
