Campbell (CA) Elects Nation's Youngest Openly Gay Mayor

Campbell Elects Nation's Youngest Openly Gay Mayor

Campbell Vice Mayor Evan Low made history Tuesday by becoming the nation's youngest openly gay mayor.

Chosen by his fellow council members to fill the mayoral seat, Low, 26, is also the country's youngest Asian American mayor. He replaces current Mayor Jane Kennedy.

Low said that although he is proud of those milestones, his aim is to be representative of the entire Campbell community.

"I hope that this will provide an opportunity for other people to get involved who traditionally might not see politics as something that might be exciting or something that might not interest them," Low said.

Congratulations, Evan! :applause:

Don't think I heard of him before. I hope he's a Dem, although Asian + Gay + Bay Area = Highly Likely Dem.

eta: But you never know.
