✏️📚Yesterday was a busy day of work at the legislature for me. But the wonderful highlight was welcoming Grade 3 kids from Vernon’s Center Road School to the Capitol, talking with them about what I do as a State Senator, discussing with them how to advocate for things of interest to them, and giving them a first hand tour of the Senate chamber. They especially liked that I have a tradition of a “candy desk”where I sit in the Senate. My colleague State Representative Jaime Foster joined me. Thank you Center Road School for visiting the Capitol!😀 Vernon Public Schools
