They were in Washington, D.C. as part of Texas rural electric cooperatives’ Government-in-Action Youth Tour. This year, 100 high school-aged youth from all over the state earned an all-expense paid trip to our Nation’s Capitol by winning either a speech or essay contest sponsored by their local electric cooperatives. Fifteen of these students are sponsored by co-ops serving our 13th Congressional District. Meeting such bright young students makes me confident in the leaders of tomorrow we have coming out of Texas.
