After the 2016 election, junior Liam Bull felt a call to something greater. He felt as if he had been called to something . . . higher. No, not the church or some other spiritualism. Politics.

If there was one thing that could be associated with Liam before the election, it would be architecture. One could often find his incredibly detailed drawings and models as the finished products of many school projects. While he still enjoys drawing buildings and such, he decided to direct his energies to what, in his view, would improve the conditions of the nation's citizens.

To that end, Liam has started what one can only describe as the Bull Media Empire, which includes an Instagram, Twitter (both named @liamthebull, and a podcast hosted on YouTube (The Liberal Bull Show). Each account boasts a modest number of followers, with his Instagram featuring 242 followers.

But how did Liam’s vast media empire that could (one day) rival the likes of NBC and CBS originate?

"Some students . . . let's say, 'kindly suggested,' that I start using social media to make my views known to more people," he recalled.

With local elections just around the corner tomorrow (November 5), who better to offer advice to student voters than politically-minded Liam.

"Party affiliation doesn’t matter in a local election. Vote for who’s going to promote your ideals," he recommended.

While he can’t currently vote himself (will that 18th birthday never come?), Liam certainly wants to participate in the electoral process.

As one of Beaver Area's most politically involved students, it’s no surprise that Liam would engage in plenty of conversation on the issues of the day. Liam, however, seems to be unhappy with the current state of discourse in and out of the school.

"I’m a little embarrassed to be quite frank. I see a lot of people on social media who speak very nastily about their politics to me. Their politics and their beliefs, that’s their own business, but when they speak about them that way, it frankly reflects on them and their beliefs poorly," he remarked.

After reading all of this, one thought is probably rushing through your head: when will

Liam become representative/senator/president Bull? Well, Liam views public office as a bit of an inevitability.

"I’m not going to be running for local office, I’m going right to Congress or something like that," he predicted.

Will he succeed? No one can say for sure, but Liam certainly has the confidence, enthusiasm, and background knowledge of someone who can succeed in public office. And we suspect, someone we actually want in office.
