 Several of Oregon’s new mayor-elects, who were voted into office in last week’s midterm election, are under the age of thirty. 

That includes Adam Marl, 26, Oregon City’s mayor-elect; Ben Simons, 26, mayor of the city of Drain; and Will Anderson, 25, mayor-elect for the city of Milwaukie. 

We’ll hear about why they ran, what they hope to accomplish, and their visions for Oregon’s future.
