America's youth are commonly viewed as apathetic and disengaged from politics (though those involved in Campus Progress know that to be untrue) therefore it comes as pleasant news to hear of a 19 year old college freshman being elected mayor of a sizeable (38K people, the state's 11th biggest) town in Oklahoma. Not only will he continue his studies and seek to fulfill his pledge of open government, he apparently will also become the city commander were martial law ever to be declared.

Go Roughers!

Once again, strong and hard hitting analysis from Mr. Connelly. Campus Progress, the best thing you have ever done was select this man to be your blogger. Please give him a more prominent role, for his methods for reaching the truth are truly stunning.

Please remember that Campus Progress' terms of use do not allow promoting or endorsing any particular political party or candidate for office. Posts or comments that do this will be deleted.
