"In Oregon, particularly our criminal justice laws affects 16-year-olds, our driving laws
affect 16-year-olds. 16-year-olds can work ... and pay taxes in Oregon. And so 16 is really that sweet spot where we believe clearly they have the intelligence and the wherewithal to make informed decisions about who they would vote for. And also they're at an age where they're actually impacted by the decisions we all make."
