Tristan G. Carstens
Introduction:
Born in Buffalo, New York, I graduated from Silver Creek High School with an Advanced Regents Diploma. In August 2024, I relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Political Science (Pre-Law) at Lipscomb University, with the goal of attending law school upon completion. I am deeply passionate about politics and aspire to serve as a Representative for the state of Tennessee. As a registered Republican, I actively engage in political initiatives, including door-to-door canvassing for the Chad Bobo campaign during the 2024 election cycle. I am also a member of the Turning Point USA chapter at Lipscomb University. In 2025, I contributed to the Marsha Blackburn Campaign by assisting with event setup at the GOP picnic in Centennial Park. I am eager to explore opportunities to support local, state, or federal political campaigns through volunteer work or internships, bringing dedication and enthusiasm to any role.
