What are the duties and responsibilities of a Governor? With this question in mind, this quote says “There is a need for governors with skills and knowledge in
addition to these qualities, but first and foremost governors need a moral
compass and an understanding of the community they must serve.” (Alan Clarke). A
governor is responsible of overall communication and connectivity between
themselves and their community.
Preston Lee is a candidate who is running for Governor, he has been in Youth Government for six years. As stated, a Governor is responsible for containing communication and serving his community in any way possible. Some of his main key election points are, “Increasing statewide communication, communicating through an advocacy board, and basically communication in general”. (Preston Lee). Some of the duties that he would be upheld to do as Governor would be overseeing and supporting bills persecuted within the house for the Senate. Something he said was; “I think the duties as governor is to help people see their purpose and their value in Youth Government and to be the example.” He certainly seems to be showing exemplary work conducted as a great example of the US Governor. As an example, he also helps his community by advising and directing newcomers of Youth government. Some examples of his advice include, “I say trust your trust, even trust your identity within this program, trust that no matter what occurs, the value and the impact that you have had within your district, or across the state will be something that’s impactful.” (Preston Lee). In conclusion, out of all the main pillars of leadership in a Governor, they are very present when looking at Preston Lee’s example and accordance. In comparison to the current US governor, he says that he will integrate some of his ideas into his candidate platform. For example, “ensuring that he’s contacted his targeted audience. And you know, whether or not you agree with that belief, or whether or not his ideology, I think he’s done well with communicating and being a representative for those delegates.” (Preston Lee). His campaign slogan truly grasps the importance of communication and representation for his
community. “A Vote For Lee Is A Vote For Me”
(Preston Lee).
