Meet the New Faces of American Politics

Josh Young The Honorable Commissioner of Caln Township, PA. In 2005 I ran for Commissioner in my township and after months of work and knocking on 1,800 doors I was elected. I am the youngest commissioner ever elected and currently the youngest elected official in my Township. I am a DEMOCRAT and I am only the 3rd Democrat elected for my township board since the civil war.

John Campbell - I am excited to announce my candidacy for Harrisburg City Treasurer today. As the Executive Director of Historic Harrisburg and CEO of the Broad Street Market, I plan to bring my experience, knowledge and innovation to the City Treasurer’s Office.

Max Brumm - People ask me "Max how did you become inspired to run for Mayor?" Well it's a funny story if you ask me! It was a late spring afternoon in 2009, I was driving to baseball practice with some teammates of mine (FYI those teammates become my main staff) anyway back to the story... We had the radio on and it just finished broadcasting that Sam Adams wanted Multnomah County to pay for the Sellwood Bridge. That really got at me. At that point I announced to my future staff "Hell I can run this city better than him! And I'm only 18!" The rest is history! I'm running for Mayor of Portland to make this city better!

Kaliko Castille is 23 years old, and is currently attending Western Oregon University. He has decided to run in the primary against Democratic incumbent David Wu and current Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian because Oregon needs more than a Democratic placeholder. Kaliko is running to end corporate personhood, so that we can begin to tackle the important issues that affect people's daily lives.
