MINEOLA (AP) — If Kathleen Rice is to become the state’s attorney general, she might want to encourage young voters not to follow her lead when it comes to voting.
Newsday is reporting that the Nassau County district attorney didn’t vote in a single election until 2002, when she was 37 years old.
Rice did register to vote as a teenager on Long Island in 1984, but stayed out of the ballot box for another 18 years. Since 2002, Rice has voted regularly.
She tells Newsday that her failure to vote before then was a youthful mistake.
Rice is one of four Democrats vying for the nomination in a September primary.
