Meet the Elected Officials

Now in its second year, the Meet the Elected Officials Club continues to be made up of student activists from the Young Democrats, Young Republicans, Young Socialists of America Clubs, Model Congress and the Original Civic Research and Action (OCRA) who are interested in learning about local politics in a bipartisan manner. This grant funds four opportunities for the club to host prominent elected officials during lunchtime and provide lunch for the students and speakers, as well as funds to promote the club and its events. Through these meetings, students will hear firsthand specifics from the elected representatives about their positions, the platforms they wish to achieve, as well as have a chance to as questions and discuss local issues. The Meet the Elected Officials Club lunch meetings directly support rising youth activism throughout the country, as well as the efforts of MHS’s many political organizations and the AP Government class.
