The Libertarian candidate for governor says he’ll barely be old enough for the job if he wins the election, but that makes him more relatable to a wider range of voters.
Taegun Eimer is a 25-year-old Lincoln native who grew up in Livingston County before returning to Lincoln and attending Springfield Lutheran High School and Olivet Nazarene University.
Eimer served in the Navy for five years.
