## Resource

At just 19, Cameran Drew is rewriting the playbook—elected youngest official in Surry County, degree in hand, and running a business that fuels change. With a razor-thin win and a mission to slash taxes, open government, and bring new economic life to his community, Drew proves youth isn’t just the future—it’s already leading. Founded his own brand and nonprofit to mentor young people, he’s turning personal struggle into public purpose, backed by professors who’ve watched his rise from diagnosis to national spotlight. His message? Don’t wait for permission to change the world—start now, even if you’re young, inexperienced, or just starting out.
