Yeah, it's a slow news day. Well, it's sort of slow. (SFO is busy! Lafayette is gassy and damp! Canopy Financial is a total sham!) But we would be remiss if we didn't tell you about this youthful bit of human interest news: at the ripe age of 26, Campbell's vice mayor Evan Low is "expected to be selected by the city council to serve as mayor."

This would make Evan would become the youngest openly gay mayor and youngest Asian American mayor in the U.S.

Elected to City Council at the age of 23 back in 2006, Low earned his B.A. in Political Science from San Jose State University and attended graduate school at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
