She joined the Army at age 17 and was one of the first women to serve as a tank commander. Now, she\u2019s 29 and running for a House seat from Virginia. If elected, she would become the youngest woman currently in Congress and the youngest mom to ever serve in Congress. But Beggs isn\u2019t running to break records. She\u2019s running because she feels called to serve her community: \u201cNo one is coming to save us but ourselves.\u201d<br\/><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/officemovingamerica.com\/?p=197\">Lawyers, Others Plead Not Guilty to Massive US Insider Trading Scheme<\/a><\/p><\/div><div><\/div><div><div><\/div><\/div><div><p>A young person running for office \u201cshouldn\u2019t be abnormal,\u201d says Beggs. But that is the current reality in the U.S., where less than one-fifth of lawmakers in the House and Senate are 45 or younger. That makes the U.S. an outlier globally.<\/p><\/div><div><p>The U.S. ranks 146th out of 171 countries for the share of representatives under 45 years old, the lowest of all liberal democracies, according to data from <u>IPU Parline and the United Nations<\/u>. The measure examines the lower chamber (or only chamber where applicable) for all countries for which data is available.<\/p><\/div><div><p>The current U.S. Congress is the <u>third-oldest in U.S. history<\/u> with <u>average ages<\/u> of 57.9 in the House and 63.9 in the Senate. Both averages have risen about 10 years <u>since the 1980s<\/u>.<\/p><\/div><div><p>Why do Americans between 25 (the minimum age for House members) and 45 make up 28.3% of the country\u2019s population but just 18.4% of Congress? Political scholars Aksel Sundstr\u00f6m and Daniel Stockemer argue that deep structural issues cause this discrepancy. When older politicians continue to run for reelection and younger people are told to \u201cwait their turn\u201d to run, the cycle persists.<br\/><\/p><\/div><div><div>\n<noscript>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"scatter visualization\" class=\"wp-image-199\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/officemovingamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/afd90ffe475db308c139a440f0c8f82d-768x413.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/officemovingamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/afd90ffe475db308c139a440f0c8f82d-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/officemovingamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/afd90ffe475db308c139a440f0c8f82d-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/officemovingamerica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/afd90ffe475db308c139a440f0c8f82d.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/noscript>\n<\/div><\/div><div><\/div><div><p>Sundstr\u00f6m and Stockemer wrote the book \u201cYouth Without Representation.\u201d Stockemer said he is highlighting how government should represent the age diversity of American society.<\/p><\/div><div><\/div><div><h2><b>Barriers to Young Americans Taking Government Roles<\/b><\/h2><\/div><div><p>Running for office is expensive and time-consuming. Most people cannot afford to lose up to a year\u2019s salary while they campaign, especially young people navigating today\u2019s affordability crisis, says Beggs. Stockemer also says the \u201cnetwork structure\u201d in U.S. politics and fundraising favors candidates with the most connections, especially those in the business world \u2013 putting less experienced and less wealthy candidates at a disadvantage.<\/p><\/div><div><p>Another factor is the belief among voters that young people don\u2019t have the experience or achievements necessary to run for office. But a <u>2025 experiment<\/u> conducted by Sundstr\u00f6m, Stockemer and Charles T. McClean reveals that people are more likely to trust a mixed-age legislature than one with just older representatives. To them, the issue is more structural than ideological.<\/p><\/div><div><div><\/div><\/div><div><p>\u201cParties are a bit reluctant to put their bets on young candidates because of the electoral system,\u201d says Sundstr\u00f6m.<\/p><\/div><div><p>Added Stockemer: \u201cThe problem is not necessarily that young people cannot win. The problem is that young people don\u2019t get nominated.\u201d<\/p><\/div><div><p>As it stands, the chances of young candidates beating older candidates \u2013 especially incumbents \u2013 are slim. Beggs is the youngest candidate running in a crowded <u>Democratic primary<\/u> in Virginia\u2019s 1st District, which will determine who goes up against a Republican incumbent who has held this seat for 20 years.<\/p><\/div><div><p>Complicating matters is that young voters whose issues younger candidates hope to represent have historically lagged in <u>voter registration<\/u> and <u>voter turnout<\/u>.<\/p><\/div><div><p>Age restrictions are another structural barrier. The U.S. is one of the few Western countries where the voting age is not the same as the minimum age to run for office, Stockemer points out. Americans can vote when they turn 18 but cannot run for the House until age 25 or the Senate until 30. This sends the message that young people are not fit to fully participate in politics and discourages engagement from the beginning, says Stockemer.<br\/><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/officemovingamerica.com\/?p=195\">Soccer-Toronto Police Seize $2.5 Million Worth of Fake Soccer Gear Ahead of World Cup<\/a><\/p><\/div><div><\/div><div><\/div><div><h2><b>Why Youth Representation Matters<\/b><\/h2><\/div><div><p>An age gap between the government and the governed risks fostering apathy toward politics in young people, Sundstr\u00f6m says. Already, one-third of younger adults do not follow U.S. politics very closely or at all, according to a <u>2025 AP-NORC poll<\/u>.<\/p><\/div><div><p>Further, Sundstr\u00f6m says an older government \u201cmight not reflect the priorities and needs of citizens that will be alive 50 years from now.\u201d Beggs says she is motivated by the prospect of building the future that she and her generation will live in.<\/p><\/div><div><p>\u201cI\u2019m not rich enough to be exempt, and I\u2019m not old enough to be exempt,\u201d she says.<\/p><\/div><div><div><\/div><\/div><div><p>The issues that matter to many young people \u2013 education, affordability, climate change, reproductive rights, gun laws \u2013 tend to differ from the priorities of older politicians.<\/p><\/div><div><h2><b>The Top 10 Countries in Youth Government Representation<\/b><\/h2><\/div><div><p>The Netherlands and Norway lead the list of countries doing this better than the U.S., as the liberal democracies with the highest youth participation in government.

About 8 in 10 American adults in a May <u>poll by NPR, PBS News and Marist<\/u> supported maximum age limits for members of Congress.

He adds that renewal is important, because if people have their seats for too long, it can lead to corruption.<\/p><\/div><div><p>Sundstr\u00f6m and Stockemer hesitate to believe that the U.S. will improve in this way, as age has become so politicized.
