In slightly more seriousness, I've worked in a statehouse and around a student government, and so far the latter has often outdone the former in terms of political rhetoric and the work/lunch ratio. :) So, this 22-year-old mayoral candidate…does he know the deal doesn’t include a mansion?

No matter who ends up mayor, the more important part is that a) you've given this some thought and b) you'll actually vote. 22, huh? Wow. I love a girl who gets her vote on!

At 22 I admire his spunk, but good grief, with 40 on my horizon, I can't imagine a 22 year old being able to cope. All idealism. No practicality.

I'm skeptical that even an exceptional 22 yo has what it takes. But it's worth investigating! Like Magpie, I think local elections are very important. Unfortunately I've only recently realized that.
