Newest Clio commissioner, 19, aided by Facebook

advertisement

Mid-Michigan youth are continually being encouraged to get involved in their communities, but one local teenager took that to the extreme.

He's the newest Clio City Commissioner, and he's just 19-years-old.

The next time you go shopping at the Clio VG's, be sure to say hello to City Commissioner Edward Mosher.

That's right, the 19-year-old VG's shelf stocker and Mott Community College computer science student was voted in Tuesday.

Edward Mosher tells NBC25, "I had a hunch it would be close, but I didn't think I'd have the second highest amount of votes."

With 15 signs across the city and word of mouth, Edward soared in the polls.

"I started a Facebook group and got my friends involved. I had about 60 people on that, and they told their friends."

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Wow, Eddie your resume will be very impressive! From grocery bagger to the Commissioner seems unreal. His social networking skills really paid off and proves that young voters really can make a difference.

Impressive. Maybe a future president.
