A Metro student will appear on the ballots in November 1998 as a Republican candidate for the stateās House of Representatives.
If heās elected, Ted Sell, a 26-year-old Metro journalism major with a 3.8 GPA, would be the fourth youngest state representative in Colorado history.
Sell, a junior, is running for a seat in the House to represent District 3, which includes Sheridan, Englewood and South Denver.
Though the election is still about a year away, Sell spends a lot of his time going door to door, campaigning and talking to the people he might represent.
ćIf youāre going to represent someone, you should know who they are,ä he said.
Sell said heās running because he opposes the politics of Rep. Jennifer Veiga, a Democrat who is the current representative for District 3.

Sell said heās running because he opposes the politics of Rep. Jennifer Veiga, a Democrat who is the current representative for District 3.
Sell said he works 80-85 hours a week between school, work and politics. But his top priority is his son 5-year-old Kevin, who lives with Sellās ex-wife but visits him about every other weekend.
ćWhen Iām with my son, Iām with my son, and thatās that, period,ä he said.
Sell said he will not run again if he loses the election. He will just stay in Colorado and continue to work with Manhunter.
ćI donāt see myself losing,ä Sell said.
Sell said he was relieved that referendum 4 A, RTDās Guide the Ride initiative didnāt pass on election day.
Sell said the referendum would have translated into government waste since RTD wanted funds but didnāt know how it would spend it.
