California’s Youngest Female Mayor Defies Stereotypes
When people think of a mayor, they don’t typically imagine an energetic 27-year-old woman running one of the wealthiest cities in California. But Tara Campbell of Yorba Linda isn’t the average politician, and uses her uniqueness to her advantage.
“I remember when I would tell people, ‘Oh, I’m the mayor,’ some people would do a double-take because you are not expecting somebody in their 20s to be mayor,” Campbell told The Epoch Times.
But as Campbell has proven, youth isn’t necessarily a hindrance. Since joining Yorba Linda council, Campbell has helped engage local youth and educate them about the workings of local governments. She also helped modernize outdated procedures and introduced new technologies that help the city run more efficiently.
