Lauren Hall
she/her
Advocacy Director
Lauren Hall is a rising senior at Hanover High School. Her interest in politics was sparked and shaped while she served as a US Senate Page this past spring. After the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, Senator Murphy demanded of his fellow senators: "What are we doing? Why are you here if not to solve a problem as existential as this?" His improvised call for action cut through the Senate’s usual scripted speeches, and, sitting on the rostrum in front of him, Lauren realized just how passionate some government officials are about trying to create change. Change can come through any number of avenues, but as a person who loves school, she believes that education is one of the most powerful tools a government can use when solving its problems. When her time is not otherwise consumed, she enjoys reading, drawing, listening to Paul Simon, and existing in New Hampshire.
