18 Year Old Launches Campaign Against Senator Larry Mumper of Ohio

[The Blue Knight]

Kyle Johnson, of Marion, Ohio, has filed his ballot with the Board of Elections, to get his name on the November Ballot for Senator of Ohio.

The ironic thing of it about is....Johnson is graduating this year from Mumper's alma mater....Elgin High School.

I guess the kid plans to launch a serious campaign. Mumper isn't too popular in these parts, and the Dems have never put up a serious candidate...so you never know.

1. How old does a senator have to be?

5. I thought you had to be 30

Unless you're talking about just a state senator. I believe that US Senators have to be 30. US Reps 25, and President 35. I could be wrong.
