Nebraska is known for having one of the youngest legislatures in the nation, and Megan Hunt is hoping to make it even younger. The 31-year-old single mother and business woman just added a new item to her already full plate — Democratic candidate for state senator representing the 8th district in Omaha, Nebraska. Hunt, who has long mixed activism with Hello Holiday, her online and brick-and-mortar feminist fashion boutique, spoke to Cosmopolitan.com about her campaign plans, how she uses business to promote her favorite causes, and how she prepares for the challenges that come from being a Millennial female candidate.

Hello Holiday, which Hunt co-owns with Omaha native Sarah Tvrdik, combines vintage kitsch with contemporary trends: feminism, fashion and homegrown local items. Hunt also founded the nonprofit Safe Space Nebraska and has served on the boards of Friends of Planned Parenthood of the Heartland and Omaha Area Youth Orchestras, among others.
