From Trib.com:
Andrew Simons isn’t just running for secretary of state — he’s looking to make history.
Simons filed paperwork Thursday to run for Wyoming’s second-highest office on the Democratic ticket against incumbent Republican Max Maxfield.
If Simons, who turns 25 in July, is elected, he would be the youngest secretary of state in the country.
The secretary of state oversees the state’s elections, records and business affairs and also serves as lieutenant governor.
Despite his youth, Simons said his experience working on Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and Gary Trauner’s congressional campaign in 2008, among other political work, has made him well-versed in election and campaign finance law.
