So is this crazy or what?A nineteen year old college freshman gets elected mayor and we can't even choose who we want for president. Now what do you think that says about the rest of us?Anyways nineteen year old John Tyler Hammons won the election for mayor in Muskogee Oklahoma with seventy percent of the votes out of a city of 38,000 people. Hammons claims the reason he won was because his basic platform idea is keep the people more informed about government activities. Hammons leads a nine-member city council and well be able to vote on ideas and bills. Hammons says he still plans to attend college but is going to find one closer than the one he currently attending, The University in Norman.
I think this cool because it just shows that the youth of America are getting more involved in every day politics.
