The 19-year-old brother of a Sandy Hook school shooting victim in Connecticut is running for a seat on the state Senate.

JT Lewis said he was inspired to seek elective office by his 6-year-old brother Jesse, who was one of 20 first-graders killed by Adam Lanza at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown on Dec. 14, 2012.

“In the months, then years following the loss of my brother, I’ve met governors, senators … we even met President Obama,” Lewis said in a video posted on Twitter on Monday.

“Our leaders are in it for themselves, to take pictures and fuel an inflated sense of importance,” added Lewis, a Republican who supports President Trump.

The UConn sophomore is running for the seat that has been held by Republican Tony Hwang of Fairfield since 2015.

Lewis accused Hwang — who has supported stricter gun control laws — of being unresponsive when he contacted him after the shooting, which claimed 26 lives, when he was a state representative for Fairfield and Trumbull.

Hwang noted that he did not represent Newtown until 2015, adding that he would “always rise above accusations and political negatives,” according to the Hartford Courant.

“I appreciate and respect anyone’s desire to run for public office,” he said in a statement. “My experience, record of accomplishments and engaged representation of our communities speaks for itself.”

Authorities have said that Jesse Lewis may have saved many of his classmates’ lives when he shouted “run” as Lanza paused during the rampage because his rifle jammed.

Several children fled from the school before Lanza resumed firing.

“He’s remembered as a hero,” JT Lewis said. “If a six-year-old can do that, I can run for state Senate and do my best to try and change the world.”
