" Move over, Elle Woods! Mindy Meyer is the new politician in pink.  In July, this 22-year-old from Brooklyn splashed onto the senate scene when she announced her intent to run against 10-year Democratic incumbent Sen. Kevin Parker. But unlike her opponent, she&amp;#039;s gaining young supporters, Legally Blonde style. &amp;quot;If Elle Woods could take pink to Harvard, why can&amp;#039;t I bring it to the Senate?&amp;quot; Meyer said in an interview with ABC News. Using sparkles, a whole lot of pink, and a slogan boasting &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m Senator and I Know It&amp;quot; (to the beat of LMFAO&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m Sexy and I Know It&amp;quot;), Meyer definitely gets girl power cred for being the first woman in the history of New York to run for New York State Senate. But this self-proclaimed &amp;quot;Diva of the District,&amp;quot; is more than just a White House wannabe. As the candidate for both the Republican and Conservative party tickets in Brooklyn&amp;#039;s 21st district, Meyer is taking a strong stance on issues such as crime, abortion, poverty, and unemployment. In one picture on her website, Meyer even dons a Katniss Everdeen costume, saying &amp;quot;No more &amp;#039;Hunger Games&amp;#039; in our District!&amp;quot;  In true Elle Woods fashion, Meyer is currently pursuing a law degree from the Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center. If she doesn&amp;#039;t win the senate seat this November, perhaps next we will see her in Washington D.C., fighting for animal rights.
