“Today I am very proud to congratulate students from Will James Middle School in Billings, Montana, the town where Mom and Dad grew up and my grandma still lives today, for winning the best car design at the National Science Bowl Middle School Electric Car Competition. This weekend, five young Montana students traveled to the National Science Bowl in Washington, D.C., to compete against 47 other teams from around the Nation. I speak for all Montanans when I say that we are incredibly proud of their success. Under the guidance of science teacher Patrick Kenney, this team of five middle school students gained hands-on science and engineering experience in designing, building, and racing their model car. As Montana's Representative and a chemical engineer from Montana State University, I am incredibly proud Montana students like Madi, Sam, Tyler, Julianne, and Alex are leading the way in science and technology. Congratulations again to the Will James Middle School Science Bowl team. ____________________”
