Representatives Gombari and Miller offered sponsor testimony in support of House Concurrent Resolution 7, which affirms the legislature’s support for the American Legion Buckeye Boys State and Buckeye Girls State programs.
Gombari described the programs’ long history—Boys State since 1936 and Girls State since 1946—and said the immersive eight‑day programs draw about 1,200 delegates and teach students the workings of city, county and state government. He urged the committee to adopt HCR7 to signal support for civic education and youth leadership development.
