The Office of State Representative Ashley V. Gantt (D-Miami) is launching their HD 109 Bill Writing Contest.
The State Representative Bill Writing Contest serves as an opportunity to encourage high school students to actively engage in the legislative process and strategically address issues within our community. Representative Gantt is calling on all high school students in House District 109 to identify an issue within our community, prepare a one-page solution to address the issue, and submit the solution to our office by October 1st. Representative Gantt will sponsor the winning bill idea as one of her seven bills in the 2024 Legislative Session.
“This new initiative is focused on engaging, educating, and empowering our next generation of leaders to use their voice to influence policies that will impact their future. Our office believes in creating opportunities for young people to engage in politics and serve at the forefront of creating impactful policies on their education, health, and overall livelihood,” said Representative Gantt. “We encourage high school students to participate in this contest, to take their first step in civic engagement to create solutions to address current issues and proactive and innovative policies for progress for our state.”
