A Florida great-great grandfather has launched a campaign to run for the US Congress in November, running on a record of 101 years of life experience.
In a bid to become the world's oldest freshman, Joe Newman announced on his website joenewman101.com that he will present his candidacy to the House of Representatives for the first time on a promise that "all citizens be heard".
He is 76 years older than the minimum age of 25 required to serve in Congress. » | AFP | Friday, February 21, 2014
