STATE AFFAIRS

Are you passionate about issues and like to work in a team?

In our State Affairs section, students create proposals assessing topics at the State and National level.

Share your passion with other students from your school, city and across the state! Select a topic you care about, gather your team of 2-3 friends and write a proposal for action. Proposals are debated, considered in committee, voted upon by peers and moved to full contingency consideration. Our State Affairs section considers proposals from across the aisle and across all topics.

Take this challenge on alone or tag team the debate with a friend or two! Get your graph and visual tri-fold board ready, because in State Affairs, we challenge you to not only talk about your view, we encourage you to show us why to vote for it!
