Summary
Representatives Gumbari and Joe Miller urged the committee to support House Concurrent Resolution 7, which endorses the American Legion-sponsored Buckeye Boys State and Buckeye Girls State programs as civic-education and leadership development experiences for Ohio youth.
Representatives Gumbari and Joe Miller offered sponsor testimony for House Concurrent Resolution 7, which expresses support for the American Legion Buckeye Boys State and Buckeye Girls State programs. Representative Gumbari described both programs as long‑running, nonpartisan civic‑education experiences that teach high school delegates about government through workshops, legislative sessions and mock elections.
The sponsors noted the programs’ history and the scale of participation, saying more than 1,200 young men and similar numbers of young women take part annually from across the state. Representative Gumbari asked the committee for favorable consideration of the resolution as a demonstration that the state values civic education and leadership development.
The committee recorded no questions and did not vote during the appearance.
