It is good to see a trend starting with the younger generation. If you see a problem that isn't being addressed but only talked about. Run for office and fix it.
@@ritahorvath8207Not true. There's been other 18-year-old mayors elected. I guess you could say he is CURRENTLY and then this would be right. But, again, there have been other 18-year-old mayors. On a different note, can I say that I'm blown away by how mature and intelligent he looks in his campaign photos? This dude will be going somewhere and do even bigger and better things for his community.
Congratulations to him 👏🎉 1 Timothy 4:12(AMPC): Let no one despise or think less of you because of your youth, but be an example (pattern) for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.
Wow I’m blown away god bless this young man. He’s truly born with a gift that the hood lord blessed him with. I wish and know he will do I’ll he can to help his city❤
Proud of this young man!! I hope he does amazing things in life! So young and so smart to want to be a public servant and strive for greatness! Congratulations Mayor Smith!!
I was expecting a 18 to become a scientist or doctor but never mayor. Teen scientists would be great. Preston Oliver or Caleb MgLaugin should play teen scientists
This wonderful young guy brought tears into my eyes but i dont why; I should be celebrating him....I pray that God Almighty will help you out, preserve, and make you a wonderful testimony to everyone, especially to your nation🙏🙏❤❤, i am so happy for him, i cant stop following him
Ben Simons was elected mayor of Yoncalla, Oregon, Pop. 1025 (2019-21) at 18-years-old. Michael Sessions was 18 when he became the mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan, Pop. 8300, in 2005. Guess you failed to mention them because of the color of their skin, huh?
He’s not even old enough to drink. Barely old enough to vote but he’s now mayor. Dems “voted” in a guy who has cognitive problems, speech problems in Pa., voted in a woman who refused to debate or answer questions about potential policies in Az. and our president has serious cognitive issues. The same people who cried for Trump to take a cognitive test which did and passed with flying colors, doesn’t push for their leader to do the same. Americas enemies are watching our weakening.
Yes, he's young, but let's consider something. Suppose I entered a voting booth and closed the curtains. There before me is a ballot and I have the choice of this young man, Jaylen Smith, Herschel Walker, Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Jim Jordan, Marjorie Taylor Greene, or a host of other election deniers, who would I vote for, who would I put my trust in to do what's right for the American people? I'd vote for this young man without hesitation. You will notice that I've listed all Republicans and you might claim, incorrectly, that I would never support a Republican. I was a lifetime Republican until 2016. The best to you for the Holiday Season.
He may not be old enough to drink but 18-year-olds have been involved in politics for centuries in fact the youngest people to sign the declaration of independence were 18 because pretty much if something happened to the father while you were a child you had to become the man of the house and so therefore maturity quickly sank in that when you got to this age you would be involved in politics
@@chaosboss1033 Alas 18-year-old have been involved in politics for centuries but never knew they could run for mayor I knew they could join the army at this age in the 21st-century move out of the house no doubt I never thought yet they can get a position in politics in this time period those centuries ago they would have like we’ve had 18 years old who became king this young were queen queen Victoria was around this young when she first became queen 19 when she had her coronation to make her officially queen Then becomes one of the longest ruling queens in the history of the British monarchy ruling for 63 years But even so the youngest people to sign the declaration of independence were 18

Nah, there are Mayors like Ben Simmons and Michael Sessions who were also 18 when they were elected.

Congratulations Bro 😎🇺🇸👍👍🙏🙏
His parents raised him well
Congrats to the new Mayor and best of luck!!! (Boo to the news anchors for their condescending and flippant comments.)
I gotta step my game up I'm 17 still hating school everyday
I like that>>> "a small city."
more like a very tiny town.
BUT, STILL A GREAT JOB IN BEING ELECTED, YOUR HONOR !
We support you from Florida let us know how we can help you.
Send money so the taxpayers don't have to pay for the 24/7 police patrol and public transportation.
Excellent. Not playing the victimhood card
Kid must be pretty smart !
Congratulation. !! 👏
God's grace and divine wisdom upon you Bro
Congratulations 👏
A teenage mayor that'll be the day
That day is here, pal.

These girls asked crazy questions cause they see his skin
Did CBS cover the election of 18-year-old Ben Simons when he won the mayoral race in Yoncalla, Oregon, several years ago?
"Youngest Black Mayor" He is the youngest mayor in all US history
Awesomeeeeeeeee
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
I am so happy for you, pray and be guided by God.
Does it matter if he’s black? I’m more interested in his age being so young
Congratulations mayor elect bravo.
I wish you all the best!!!! Ask questions, and enjoy!!
Wow
Love it 😍
Good stuff 💙

This kid is going to be the next black president of. U.s.a
Ben Simons was elected mayor of Yoncalla, Oregon, Pop. 1025 (2019-21) at 18-years-old.
Michael Sessions was 18 when he became the mayor of Hillsdale, Michigan, Pop. 8300, in 2005.
Guess you failed to mention them because of the color of their skin, huh?
This is CBS "News " after all. With "these people" it's all about the Black race.
Maybe because it's 2023 and 18 or 5 year old "news" is not relevant.
Why are you angry about a non-issue?
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
So, he is in college and also the mayor-elect at the same time? What were the voters thinking? How will he do his mayoral job?
We waz kaangz
In the spirit of "Equity", who was the youngest White mayor-elect"? I'll wait.
Luke Phillips, Bluff, VA he is 22
Are we sure this dude 18? Man sound like my uncle😭
Don't use your childish standard 🤣
Salute to J.S
Keep out his race, put Major!
This is awesome! Ageism is real. Can’t wait for somebody to say he shouldn’t be mayor because his “brain isn’t fully formed”🙃
He is the youngest mayor ever. not youngest black mayor. Racists
Bix nood
This is racist.
How?
@Shei Savage if it were a white guy it'd be racist. Just being fair.
@@dapv144 how? I’m still not understanding…

Seems better than Fetterman. lol
What does the size of the place matter? Lol why even mention that
It kinda does matter, it would be odd if an 18 yr old was the mayor of 1,000,000+

19 when she had her coronation to make her officially queen
Then becomes one of the longest ruling queens in the history of the British monarchy ruling for 63 years
