Del. Joe Vogel (D-Montgomery) appears to resemble a teenager when he sits among his colleagues on the House of Delegates floor. He turned 27 years old on Jan. 4, making him the youngest member currently serving in the General Assembly. But Vogel is guided by his lived experiences, which came into play last week when he spoke in support of House Bill 558, a measure to create a health education framework in the state. Some of the topics the bill addresses include family life and human sexuality, gender identity and sexual orientation, and mental and emotional health.
