So you’d vote for someone just because of their age? I respect that young people have the right to run, but they must do so on equal footing as older candidates. To give her special treatment would be just as wrong as not allowing her to run. Remember that should she win, she’ll be representing a large group of people to the rest of the state, those people (including me) have every right to make sure she’s up for it.

And for the record, I’m only 21.

I think it is admirable what this 18 year old girl is doing. She is showing the United States that kids are able to do anything, and I for one am proud to be in the state in which welcomes teenages to be actively involved in politics, and if I lived in the district I would vote for her!! GOOD LUCK!

I agree. I’ve seen this type of thing happen before, a party (or group) desperate for a candidate runs a young person that they generally agree with and think they can control.

David – I would call that the red flag.
