I am very excited to share a completely fresh case study on what I am
calling "Facebook Native Politicians."
Imagine if the new majority elected to your city council were on
Facebook from their teen or college days - a decade of engaging
socially online before becoming an elected representative.
This is the new wired Minneapolis story. Seven new council members,
elected with an average age of 33.
With my 20+ years of online civic experience in this space, I can say
the emerging story is truly amazing and dynamic:

Huge thanks to Involve and the Centre for the Study of Democracy at
the University of Westminster for hosting this event in London last
month. The UK local councillors and Dan Jellinek provide some great
context and contrasting views in the full webcast (which is nicely
edited).
If you want to see further research and lesson sharing on this topic,
please get in touch: [email protected] - I'd like to build this
out further.
Finally, if you know of other "Facebook Native Politicians" who engage
constituents online, please introduce them to me so I can invite them
to connect with their peers around the world.
Sincerely,
Steven Clift
