Mitt Romney

Imposing a maximum age limit on elected politicians undermines the democratic principle that voters should choose their leaders. Experience often correlates with age, and leadership requires wisdom, not merely energy or innovation. Voters are capable of evaluating the fitness of candidates to serve.

I believe we should replace closed party primaries with a single, nonpartisan, open primary system. This approach encourages broader voter participation and ensures that candidates are accountable to a wide range of constituents rather than just the extremes of their party. It's a step toward more representative and effective governance.
