An Arkadelphia High School student is one of 22 members in Arkansas’s 4th Congressional District to be named to U.S. Sen. John Boozman’s Congressional Youth Cabinet.
Christian Hunter was selected for the honor. Hunter is a junior at Arkadelphia High School, where she is a member of Future Business Leaders of America and is vice president of her class.
Boozman launched the eighth year of his Congressional Youth Cabinet on Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2024, at the Old Statehouse Museum in Little Rock. The meeting brought together 114 high school juniors who were selected from public, private, charter and homeschool students across the state for their involvement and leadership in their communities.
The Congressional Youth Cabinet is a non-partisan program that gives students insight and experience with the legislative process. The students will attend meetings throughout the year and work in teams to select and research national issues. In the spring, the students will present their policy recommendations to the senator.
“The Congressional Youth Cabinet benefits Arkansas students and families as well as their communities by promoting a healthy public policy dialogue and developing the next generation of leaders in our state,” Boozman said. “I am pleased to welcome this group of bright young people to contribute their ideas and experiences as we explore legislative solutions to the issues that interest them most. Their enthusiasm for enhancing their own understanding of civic engagement and helping shape the future of our state and country is inspiring.”
