This year’s Republican Lieutenant Governor, Micah Price, is full of surprises. His right hand man, Ben Underwood, is “his life” and the main reason he decided to run for the position during the 2008 session. As Lieutenant Governor he oversees the first year program, making sure everything runs smoothly and offering help and advice when needed. When asked what his favorite part about his position is, he replied, “Seeing the faces of the first years when we help them and their eyes light up like a Ziploc bag full of leprechaun gold.” Price’s goal for this session is “Getting the program back on its feet from last year, ensuring that we have Youth Legislature in the future.” As for third parties, he says, “They’re great! I wish it were as easy for third parties to be implemented into real politics as it is at Youth Leg. – the diversity of thought is amazing.” Price plays an extremely important role at Y.L. and although he is a busy man, he is more than willing to stop and chat with his fellow delegates at the capitol. If you see him in the halls stop and say hi – if you’re a first year, give him a big thanks!
