WHEAT RIDGE, Colorado-- Donald Trump has a new campaign manager. But it's the youngest "manager" on his staff that's getting attention.

Weston Imer is just 12-year-old, and he's already involved in one of the most important elections of our lifetime in one of the most important counties in the battleground state of Colorado.

Weston is working to get out the vote to people of all ages in his community. But it hasn't been easy. Weston says he was bullied at school last year, and admits sitting behind a desk in a campaign office isn't the "coolest" thing to do. He says he loves it, though, and hopes to inspire others.

He said, "Get involved! That's what I'm going to say. Get involved, kids need to be educated."

On paper, Weston's mom is the official campaign coordinator, but she hopes giving her son so much responsibility will teach other parents to do the same with their kids, both Democrats and Republicans.

Weston is hoping to continue his role in the campaign until school starts in September. But overall, this campaign is just a preview of what's to come for Weston.

When asked if he wants to be president one day, he exclaimed, "Definitely! 2040, watch for me! 2040 Imer and Barron Trump, if you are watching, in 2040 I'll take you as my running mate!"

Barron Trump is Donald Trump's 10-year-old son. So far, he's stayed out of the political limelight.
