With this line of reasoning, would you be in favor of getting rid of the minimum age for running for office?

As long as the candidate had reached the age of majority, yes, I'd be fine with the few minimum age restrictions that exist being removed. In the 18th century information spread slowly and very unevenly. If a 20 year old wants to run for the Senate and the people of their state want to be represented by a 20 year old, I'm fine with that. There's no hiding that a 20 year old is 20 years old.
