A business colleague of mine discuss this somewhat. He's 55. We think we bring a lot to business because of experience of course. Same attributes as you mentioned!. Critical thinking skills are pretty sharp after 25+ in an industry.
A 30 year old maybe be lacking some experience, and overall, the broader team, has a mix of talent to be harnessed. What they do bring, often is an inclusive mindset. Some boundaries around work life balance. The majority i know are very hard working.

These lower level judges are my age, later 40s thru 60s. The municipal positions, a fair amount in their 40s. Just not enough Dems. So i hope this large demographic below me, jumps in. Displaces a % of conservatives. And yes, when i get impassioned, family will say run for township clerk, or something. Lol. I work a ton of hours, would be best to help more Dems run, get elected.
