Team,

Today, I want to emphasize an essential aspect of our democratic principles: the 26th Amendment.

The 26th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified on July 1, 1971, lowered the voting age from 21 to 18. It was a monumental step towards granting young adults the right to participate in the democratic process and have their voices heard. This amendment not only recognized the inherent value of young people's opinions but also acknowledged their vital role in shaping our future.

As the only candidate for Mayor under the age of 45, my candidacy reflects the will and desire of generations of Memphians, who are striving to make a better future for themselves and their families.  

Throughout my campaign, I have had the privilege of engaging with young voters, listening to their concerns, and working together to find solutions that address their needs. I am committed to creating opportunities for our youth, whether it be through accessible education, job training programs, or mentorship initiatives. Together, we can foster an environment where every young Memphian feels empowered to contribute and succeed.

But to achieve this vision, I need your continued support. Your contribution to our campaign will enable us to reach more voters, organize events, and implement programs that uplift and empower our young community members. Every dollar you donate brings us one step closer to realizing our goal.

Let's seize this opportunity to celebrate the 26th Amendment and support a candidate who genuinely values the power and potential of our youth. Together, we can shape a Memphis that embraces inclusivity, opportunity, and progress.

Thank you for being a vital part of this movement.

Warm regards,

Paul Young
