But what if that same 18 year old had pulled the same curtain over the eyes of the electorate as Santos/Devoider or whatever the fuck that tossers name is?
If they're old enough to die for this country, they're mature enough to serve on the legislature. 
But then again, some 80 year olds are not mature enough to do their jobs as elected officials, so it depends on the person. >


If they're old enough to die for this country...

18 is definitely not old enough for that, even though it's a societal norm. >

Probably because few here have had 18-year old kids, or been one themselves.
EDIT: Agreeing with you. My comment may have been ambivalent. >

Have had 18 year old kids, they were more mature and more adept at critical thinking and empathy than some of our National representatives like Boebert and Green. >


One lawmaker thinks so

Kind of a silly headline by KJZZ given that the bill currently has 10 sponsors (8 representatives and 2 senators, 6D/4R). >

That's as close to bipartisan as we've seen for two decades. >

I know a number of people in their 30s to 80s who do serve in state legislatures who are not mature enough >

Nevermind at the federal level. >

That was my thought as well, my 17 year old is more mature than 70% of the current Congressional Congress. >

Should they be legally allowed to serve in the legislature? Sure. Are most not ready for that kind of responsibility? Yeah. 
So let them run and then let elections sort it out. >


Are most not ready for that kind of responsibility?

Getting Parks & Rec Ice Town vibes. LOL >

You're talking about the current U.S. Congress right? >

If someone like Taylor-Greene or Boebert is mature enough to be in the US Congress then I'd say an 18 year old is capable of being a member of a state house.
