“Mr. Speaker, last Thursday, my office hosted the first- ever Georgia-12 Youth Leadership Summit at Georgia Southern University. Over 400 students and educators from around Georgia's 12th Congressional District represented their high schools at the summit. I was amazed by the turnout. The energy of the students was inspiring. Many thanks to Colonel Sam Anderson, Garrison Commander at Fort Gordon; Stephanie Miller, morning host of Hot Country Hits Y96; Tyson Summers, head football coach at Georgia Southern University; and Congressman Tom Graves of the 14th District of Georgia, for sharing their experiences with these young leaders. These students are the future leaders of Georgia and our country, and I want them to realize their potential, and I want to see them succeed. I would like to give a special thanks to Georgia Southern University for hosting us, and members of my staff for their hard work in organizing and setting up this event. Our district is very fortunate to have these great students and educators. It was evident that the young folks of Georgia-12 are an exceptional class of leaders who will step up to any occasion. What a wonderful honor it was to host this important event last Thursday in Statesboro, Georgia. ____________________”
