Every once in a while, a young artist hits the scene with such a big splash, you can’t help but become an instant fan. Hudson Rowan, a 14-year-old from Marbletown, New York, is one such artist.
This month, the Board of Elections in Ulster County, New York, will choose the winner of its second annual I Voted Sticker contest, which asks area tweens and teens to submit their original designs.
The contest is just one of the county’s initiatives designed to get kids excited about participating in politics, many of which were launched during the alienating early days of COVID. The winning sticker will be distributed across Ulster County to participating voters in the Nov. 8 general election.
