"You're never too young to be a patriot," he said. "If you're old enough to serve our country in the military, you should also have the opportunity to elect peers who reflect your views and values. The Arizona Civic Participation Act will empower thousands of young Arizonans and encourage the next generation of Arizona civic leaders to step forward now."
