The races were exciting. The voting was hectic. But now we have the final results of the candidates who will serve in their respective offices for the Youth and Government 2010 session.
Terry Mcallister is the new Speaker of the House for Youth Legislature. He said that it was great to know that he had won. He is looking forward to next year and expects it to be extremely fun. Well Terry it sounds like a plan to me I will see you next year.
Congratulations to Devon Compton, our President of the Senate for next year’s Youth Legislature session! He sang his way to victory over the opposition. In his own words he said, “I wasn’t expecting to do well until the end when ‘the blank is a lie’ question was asked, because as a an avid gamer I understood the reference immediately.” He said he felt surprised and overwhelmed at winning the election, but he kept his enthusiasm in check. He added, “I hope to do well next year in my position and I plan not to disappoint.” He also wanted to thank everyone who voted for him, and Arthur Peck and Jacy Suenram from Dillon for nominating him. He also wanted to thank Ben Underwood for “pulling me out of the crowd.”
Asa Dickerson, the new Secretary of State, feels awesome about winning and would like to thank everyone for supporting him and for all of the votes. Asa is very excited for next year and can’t wait to be Secretary of State at the next Youth Legislature. After the win Asa said, “I feel as though I can take on a heard of sixty stampeding Musk Oxen and at least four hedgehogs.” Congrats on the win Asa we can’t wait to see you next year.
Our new Chief of Justice is none other than Morgan Smith, the sophomore from Gardiner. What does she say to this? “That’s pretty sweet”. It was hard work getting this far, and Morgan would like to thank Pauline Darr, Stevie Short, everyone that voted for her, Ben Underwood, Gardiner, and her ‘brother’s prime example of campaigning’. She feels that the main reasons that she was elected into office are her background, her excellent help with her speech, and her brutal honesty. Her big plan of action for next year is that she is “going to try and make the Justice’s questionings and the attorneys presentations more enthusiastic.”
