About Me

Hi! My name is Quinn, and I am a 17-year-old political commentator from New Hampshire. I have attended over 100 presidential rallies since the age of 10, met several presidents, and asked numerous questions, which have given me a unique perspective on the world of politics (one that I am still figuring out).

This website is dedicated to promoting my Op-eds and podcast where I will attempt to give an unbiased view of my perspective on the presidential process in how the candidate performed, the content of a speech, differentiation from the field, hypocritical aspects, retail political skills, turnout, energy, how they handled mine or an other's questions, and much more. You can find my podcast "Into The Tussle" in the podcast section or on any major streaming platform, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts.

My experiences and questions have been featured in The Boston Globe, The New York Times, CNN, USA Today, The Daily Beast, The Washington Post, The Guardian, and many other publications, which are linked below.

If you have any feedback or want to contact me, please head to the contact section.
