I think that this guy is too young to be an elected official.  I would rather see people do their career, raise their family, and then do public service after that.  If you are going to be making decisions at the elected officials money trough, I would prefer that you at least be at the stage of life where you don't need the trough any more.  It's hard to make good decisions for your constituents when you really need to have that government cheque deposited to your account every second Friday.
