Joey’s Three Promises if Elected Governor
Real-life words of the three goals Joey plans to do for us if he is nominated for Governor
Of the three running for Governor, there is Joey Maguire. Maguire has been in the Youth and Government program for three years now. He has been to CONA (Conference on National Affairs) and won distinguished delegates at district and state levels. Maguire also had one of his written Bills signed into the Law. Not only has he done things for the Youth and Government program, but he has also done great things for his school at Vista Ridge, such as rebuilding a club that he was once the vice president of but is now the club president.
Maguire believes in three platforms: those are believing in more conferences, more community advocacy, and more evaluators. “More conferences are pretty self-explanatory; it would just be little imitations or like regional areas within the districts that would allow more people to get more practice in and feedback for the district and state conferences when it is really going to matter,” said Maguire. This factor is the most efficient for all of the Texas districts in the Youth And Government because it allows us Delegates need to practice more and understand the sections in which we participate. This The goal will also allow us to understand the real world.
“More community advocacy. Everyone here wants to get involved in the community. Still, we are stuck doing Mock Trial and Government right now. So this will allow us to not only go out and volunteer through YMCA or organized events. I would hope we’d also be able to meet with local cities and government officials that dictate the laws, and we get to not only talk to them, but we learn things as well and develop our skills in Youth and Government,” Maguire said. Having more community advocacy will give us great opportunities in the future, such as in our resumes for our dream jobs or just in general. Choosing community advocacy for the betterment of youth and government will also let us delegates closely examine the YMCA.
“And Finally, more evaluators, I’m not sure if Media has this problem much, but legislative, when I was in the district, I know it seemed like there were never enough elevators, and even when there was a good amount, some of them seemed less experienced. So, I will bring in more evaluators to supplement it and train through Zoom sessions for more experienced evaluators or students, perhaps the governors, secondary state, lieutenant governors, or a speaker. And ideally, since most of those district conferences are in some larger city with a college, I thought it would be perfect if we employed college students,” said Maguire. Maguire believes without a doubt that all he says will indeed happen. He shows us as his community that trust is the number one feeling we should put in him to improve Youth and Government and give us a great future.
