Whippersnappers convene

Keiffer Mitchell feels old

The Young Elected Officials Network had its national conference in Washington last week, and Del. Keiffer Mitchell, in D.C. on other business, decided to stop by.

"I went to try to register at the table and they said the age limit is 35 years old," said Mitchell, who turns 44 in September. "I tried to explain to the lady, 'Hey, I’ve been going to the gym on a daily basis.'"

They did let Mitchell in, as sort of an elderly observer. While there, he ran into Sen. Bill Ferguson and City Councilman Bill Cole.

"Thnx for allowing me to crash ur YEO meeting," Mitchell tweeted them. "I found out I no longer qualify as a 'young elected official.' Very Depressing."
