Maybe if you have any friends or relatives who are particularly charming, convince them to go for it, I don't know.

nah not old enough

this i the first election ill be able to vote

I think, in any case, the minimum to run is something like 25, right?

i think so

li politics is pretty much a good ol boys club

It's 20 to run for House.

@Pielover19 minimum age for the House of Representatives is 25, for the Senate is 30, for the Presidency 35

are you referring to state legislature ?

I assume so.

Anyways, definitely a good idea to run if the GOP hasn't run any candidates and if you're old enough to run.

Really? I thought it was 20 for House, 25 for Senate, and 35 for the Presidency.

I know it's 30 for senate

25 for House, 30 for Senate, and 35 for Presidency

But on the state level it's more like

30 for Governor, 25 for Senate, and 20 for House

But it varies by state

20's too young tbh

My local parish council has 18 as its age requirement.

And like 25 for Parish President

hey, who knows really

Unrelated: Richest parish in Louisiana wonders "why do we not have a massive debt issue"

maybe at that age you should just campaign instead of run, but, it's a crazy time

YEah

Just run for whatever, make sure you can win though

there was this mayor of this small town who was like...10 years old

that looks to at least be some sort of effort, which is better than Saccone.

Slaughter is dead

this was written in january

yeah, and his next opponent should me easier than Slaughter, which means he has a fighting chance

especially given that he went in thinking he'd have to put in the effort to defeat Slaughter

I hope Gov Andrew Cuomo files the date for this election to be before Nov 6

winning this would be a morale boost for the right

Cynthia Nixon is running for NY governor

Any relation to Richard Nixon?

Nope just an actress
