Gazette-Times: Gelser, 'Five Under 35' aim to get youth involved

The Gazette-Times, March 20, 2007

At 33, state Rep. Sara Gelser knows that this legislative session will be the last time she can be a member of the newly formed "Five Under 35" caucus, but she hopes her work with the group will inspire other young people to be more interested in politics.

"At the Capitol, it's not about how old you are or whether you're a Republican or Democrat," said Gelser, a Democrat from Corvallis. "It's about if you have good ideas and are able to work with other people."

Gelser and four of her colleagues from the House introduced their "Five Under 35" caucus on Monday and highlighted legislation they've sponsored that they said will help create an agenda for young Oregonians.
