Wanted...

I read one MD blogger who was surprised about how young Kristin Cox (Ehrlich's LG pick) is. But at 36, she seems like an experienced adult next to some of the people straight out of school who think they're old enough to make laws for the state of Maryland. In the District 18 delegate race, we've got two candidates who are very young (one may not yet be able to drink legally): Jeff Waldstreicher and Noah Grosfeld-Katz.

Now, while I'm happy that young people want to serve their community (I'm going to assume that's why they are running), they probably ought to get some life experience before trying to become a lawmaker. Waldstreicher is something like 26, so with law school, that gives him a couple of years of life experience outside of school. And Grosfeld-Katz (according to the address listed in the Gazette and another on whitepages.com) apparently still lives with his mom, the incredible (and unfortunately retiring) Sen. Sharon Grosfeld.

With the example of great legislators like Sen. Grosfeld, D18 deserves legislators of proven experience, ability, and dedication.
