So here is something relevant to what we have been discussing the last couple of classes about our younger generation not knowing much about our politics. Kansas has 6 teenagers under the age of 18 trying to run for governor. No experience and very little political knowledge. They would be running against veteran politicians which no one is taking seriously. Then again there is no age restriction for running. This has caught the attention of many people including lawmakers that are asking for clearer election guidelines. The teens are just asking for people to hear them out, that they come with good ideas and are serious about the running. One even suggested that the running might attract the younger voters to explore politics more and "strengthen the youth vote". That's what we want right?
