Katy, TX – Rep. Pete Olson (TX-22) on Saturday held a meeting with his 2013/2014 Congressional Youth Advisory Council. The advisory council is comprised of a group of high school students from across the congressional district who serve as Olson’s advisors on issues critical to the youth of America. During the meeting, the students and Olson discussed the economy, foreign affairs, education, technology and other topics that impact Americans. The students also crafted their own pieces of legislation.

“These bright students continue to impress me with their knowledge, interest and engagement in current issues,” Rep. Olson said. “Hearing their take on topics that impact our younger generations helps me better understand their priorities. I’m convinced these leaders will greatly contribute to our community in years to come, and it is a pleasure to work with them to enhance their interest in how our government works.”

In its third year, the council consists of high school students from across the 22nd Congressional District in Brazoria, Fort Bend, and Harris Counties.
