Oregon teen mayor from Yoncalla:
People can serve no matter their age
PORTLAND (AP) —
The teenager elected mayor
of his small Oregon city
plans to be a steward for the
budget and a proponent for
growth.
Voters in Yoncalla last
week elected Ben Simons,
18, to be mayor of the
city about 44 miles south
of Eugene, the Oregonian
reported.
Simons beat out two
other candidates with 41
percent of the vote and will
take office Jan. 1. He is
optimistic that he can make
a difference when it comes
to growth.
“So far, that hasn’t been
happening as good as I
believe it should be,” he
said. “In two years, I think
I can get this town headed
down the right path.”
Simons
experienced
success and public ser-
vice before the election. He
was Yoncalla High School
Class of 2018 valedictorian
and was twice elected class
president.
Months before the elec-
tion Tuesday, he was
appointed to the Yoncalla
City Council after another
member resigned for health
reasons.
Simons was just visiting
City Hall and the mother
of a close friend told him
about the city council
opening.
“It just ended up being
one of those things where I
got in there, she mentioned
it to me, and I said, ‘Let’s
do it,’” he said. He took
office in September.
He’s also a volunteer
firefighter and a student at
Umpqua Community Col-
lege. He plans to eventu-
ally transfer to the Univer-
sity of Oregon. He wants to
major in business and pos-
sibly start his own business.
His experience and
familiarity helped get him
get elected mayor, he said.
He has lived in Yoncalla all
his life and people know his
politics.
“I think people here have
been looking for something
a little bit different,” he
said. “People in Yoncalla
know me. And they’ve
known me my entire life.”
He hopes he will inspire
other young people to get
involved in local politics.
“You can be involved in
government no matter what
your age is,” Simons said.
“If you feel like you’re
qualified, you should apply
and see how it goes.”
