Very proud of Mariel' Joe, Matt.Camilla and Axel. But Axel under 30? LOL
Are you kidding me? How can Michael Suleiman be excluded from a list of the 50 top under 30? He belongs in the Top 10! How many from your list are County Party Chairmen? That would be NONE. Mike has been a senior aide to Sen. Jim Whelan for 5 years, a Municipal Chair, Municipal candidate and now County Chair. Your list has zero credibility without Mike Suleiman.
For parity, have separate Dem and GOP lists?
Congrats all! Proud to know a lot of these great folks that are improving the lives of people in their communities.
