CARSON BRENNEMAN

Carson was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas. His parents are Michael and Christina, and he has an older sister, Eden.

While attending the Classical School of Wichita, Carson read countless books as a part of the school’s classical curriculum. Reading these classical texts, written by some of the most influential authors of western civilization, has inspired him to pursue history, politics, and law.

Carson is studying Political Science at Oklahoma State University, planning on going to law school after he graduates. OSU has a great campus and honors college, and they provided him with a generous scholarship offer. He also has enjoyed the Christian community he has found there through Reformed University Fellowship (RUF).

Carson was involved in a variety of roles within student government throughout high school, helping organize events and service projects. Now at college, he continues to be involved in leadership on campus through multiple political activism clubs and student ministry via RUF. In Fall 2023, he re-founded the defunct Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) chapter as Vice-President, engaging in conversations with students on campus about controversial issues and hosting impactful speakers. In Fall 2025, he is planning on shifting his activism focus from YAF to a new club he is founding, Students for Abolition, to have gospel-centered conversations with students about abortion. “Everything I do in politics, activism, and my life day by day I try to do as God directs me in his word. That means being bold for the truth, but it also means speaking the truth in love despite the world’s hostility.”

“I’m looking forward to law school to learn more about the different paths I could take. But whether God calls me to a career in law in the private or public sector, electoral politics, or even a think tank, I am committed to building up my local community in Kansas, especially Wichita.”
