‘Young Boy’ Reference is Offensive
- Share via
As a 26-year-old Republican voter in the 38th Assembly District, I am offended by Paula Boland’s continual reference to Rob Wilcox as a “young boy.” In using such a description, Boland seems to imply that age should determine eligibility to serve as an elected representative.
As a “young person” myself, I strongly disagree; Sacramento has enough warhorses.
What California needs is a leader with fresh ideas and a whole new approach to problem-solving. We’re in the ‘90s now and Dark Age politics must give way to an enlightenment.
