Sister City Modesto going young !

Council race lures young candidates By Leslie Albrecht Modesto Bee:

A switch to district elections isn't the only change coming to Modesto politics this fall. Candidates in the City Council race skew young, with five of the seven contenders in their 20s and 30s. With most current council members in their 50s and 60s, that means the Nov. 3 election will bring fresh blood to the council in more ways than one.

Youth means some candidates are in a different phase of life than a typical city elder. Three are unmarried, three are renters, four don't have children.
