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.
