Local Gen Z politicians pushing to become leaders of today

26:25

Some voters might think an 18- or 19-year-old is too young to run for mayor or city council. Three local Gen Z politicians disagree and are making their voices heard in their hometown elections.

Radio Boston sat down with Omar Mohuddin, a 19-year-old Northeastern University student who's running for mayor in the city of Woburn; Trey Fuccillo, a 20-year-old city council candidate for Marlborough’s 6th Ward; and Angus Abercrombie, a 19-year-old who currently serves as a Town Meeting member in Belmont.

This segment aired on August 23, 2023.
