Not to mention one of the most attractive Congresswoman of all time and a contender for the top spot to be sure. Her exact birthday isn’t listed but it says circa 1983 so she might possibly be slightly younger than the current female record holder, rat Liz Holtzman of NY (31 at first election).

Elise Stefanik is 29 and will (knock on wood) take over the spot of youngest Congresswoman ever. She would also be (unless a younger male is elected, maybe Paul Dieztel in Louisiana?) the first member of Congress younger than me (I was born Oct. 1983). A sobering thought. The current youngest member, rat Patrick Murphy of Florida is 6 months my senior.

When there’s a SENATOR that’s younger than me I will truly feel old.

I hope you meant to say that Liz Holtzman was the "current female record holder" for youngest congresswoman, not for most attractive, or else your taste in women leaves a lot to be desired ....

Here's a picture of the lovely state Representative Marilinda Garcia:

There was that story circulating a couple months back about the conservative WV high school student who defeated a GOP incumbent in the primary. She’ll be 18 by November (and its a safe GOP legislative district that voted heavily for Obama), so that gives her over a decade before she’s even eligible to run for the U.S. Senate. She can serve four terms and then she’ll be old enough for Congress. ;-)

"When there’s a SENATOR that’s younger than me I will truly feel old."

Speaking of that, of the 100 Senators serving when I was born, only 22 are still alive. No Senators are younger than me yet. Patrick McHenry became the first House member younger than me a decade ago, though I was less than a month younger than Adam Putnam when he was elected in 2000.
