DAYTON, Ohio — He may be too young to vote, but 17-year-old Derrick Seaver is the sole Democrat running for a vacant Ohio legislative seat, the Dayton Daily News reported Tuesday.

Seaver, a senior at Minster High School who turns the requisite age of 18 on Feb. 6, said: “I know my opponents will talk about what they’ve done in the past and what I haven’t, but I feel this is about the future,” Seaver told the newspaper.
