Julio Mejia ’27 Made History as Massachusetts’ Youngest Elected School Committee Member. And He’s Not Done Yet. Julio is knocking on doors in the Lawrence, Massachusetts, neighborhood where he grew up. But these days, his mission is different from when he was a kid looking to ride bikes or hang out with friends after school. Instead, he is hoping to get young people involved in local government, something Mejia is familiar with as the youngest person in the state’s history to run for — and win — a seat on a school committee. He was elected just two-and-a-half weeks after his 18th birthday.
