Kansas Teenagers Out of Governor Race

VpuHxlj0vx@|gJF

The American state of Kansas held its primary election on Tuesday. Results from primaries determine which candidates will represent political parties in the general election in November.

plEeM^T4dyhto

Tyler Ruzich was one of the candidates for Kansas governor. He hoped to become the Republican Party's nominee.

l1-QH7M~5l

On Tuesday afternoon, he and his running mate went to their local voting station. Later, he held a watch party for friends and supporters.

1T8QZwuIRt-5

But Ruzich did not get to vote for himself -- or for anyone else. At just 17 years of age, he is still too young.

HmdaV.AHbVEuomg~1h

The minimum voting age in the United States is 18.

kF#pr!|d)R

"You don't have to vote to be a voter," Ruzich told some of his friends at his election watch party. "Being here means you're a voter...and that you're standing by someone you support."

wx*-ztQl@bu-Gsuu

Ruzich was not the only candidate too young to vote in the primary election. Seventeen-year-old Jack Bergeson ran as a candidate for the Democratic Party's nomination. And Joseph Tutera, also 17, hoped to represent the Republican Party in November.

[AbN0Oj2dqn^kUy-e)

In total, six Kansas teenagers had declared their candidacy for governor. They did so after discovering last year that the Kansas constitution does not have a minimum age requirement to run for office.

Z2G[v|4ZdtV~ydG

Kansas has since passed a law requiring future candidates to be at least 18 years of age.

@BSV9FGhf.4+F~Sc--c

The teenage gubernatorial candidates gained national media attention. They also helped bring attention to voting issues in their state. The nonprofit organization Rock the Vote considers Kansas to be a "blocker" state. That means there are many barriers to voter registration.

*z.&P6F;V4c%t6LSx3

None of the teenage candidates won their primary races on Tuesday. But they believe they inspired more young people to take part in elections and vote.

j.jOVCq1S#^M]nB)

Joseph Tutera said the state saw a higher turnout than usual for primary elections.

b4pX!t4efNKYq%K

"We're actually having something like the highest voter turnout in 14 years for the primary and I'd like to think that's because of me," Tutera told VOA.

=1ILZxGFksgHtn8

Jack Bergeson conceded the Democratic primary race Tuesday night. He said even though he did not win, he met many of his goals.

-!_)ovVWdSbW#pk=*km

"I was able to stand on a stage and debate a lot of the big names in the state and I was really able to show that there is a difference between the establishment and uncorrupted candidates," Bergeson told VOA.
