What were you doing at 23? Probably nursing hangovers, breaking up with your college sweetheart, or wondering what in Sam’s Hill you were going to do with that philosophy degree.
Not so for young Tara Campbell. Just two years after she turned the legal drinking age, she’s already taken a seat on the Yorba Linda City Council. She’s the youngest to do so in the city’s history. She has also joined Yorba Linda’s first ever female majority council.
Campbell won election in November with 15,253 votes, which is more than any other candidate.

Oddly enough, it began with her love of professional sports.
