A 40-year-old college student with no political experience who heads a local chapter of College Republicans announced she’ll run for GOP nomination for the US Senate seat held by incumbent Democrat Tammy Baldwin, showing once again Republicans have no serious candidates or policy on which to run, NBC News reports.
Rejani Raveendran, a single mother of three who is the head of the College Republicans at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, will announce her candidacy Tuesday evening. A 2011 migrant from India where she was a nurse and midwife, Raveendran became a US citizen in 2015. She plans to graduate from college next year with a degree in political science, which she believes qualifies her for one of the 100 seats in the US Senate.
