On January 8, 2018, I was honored to be selected as a member of Congressman Ted Lieu’s inaugural Youth Advisory Council (YAC) for a two year term.
YAC students meet with a diverse group of peers from their community to discuss issues of importance, and they work directly in Representative Lieu’s office to collaborate on key issues for young people in California’s 33rd district.
I am honored and proud to be a part of this council. It is an excellent forum to discuss topics of importance to youth, including environmental issues, woman’s rights, and border security issues or lack thereof. We meet regularly, and Congressman Lieu joins us whenever possible. I see first hand how passion is turned into political action which can effectuate policy and law.
