1. I think 18 too - there was an 18
Edited on Sun Feb-25-07 07:41 PM by waiting for hope
year old Mayor just elected - somewhere on the west coast. I don't remember where but NPR covered the story.

On Edit:
"At just 18 years old, Kyle Corbin was recently inaugurated as mayor of Union, Ore. Voters hope that Corbin's fresh young face will end years of political bickering among senior-citizen-age city council members."

7. Nothing I could find in the Kansas state constitution specifies minimum ages
for political office; odd, that.

3. Depends

Check your state/county/city informational pages. Most likely
you'll have to be 18, however some areas might require at
least 25.
