Clay Swears In Inaugural Class of Missouri 1st District Congressional Youth Cabinet
ST. LOUIS – Congressman Wm. Lacy Clay (D) Missouri has launched the Missouri 1st District Congressional Youth Cabinet in the historic Board of Aldermen chambers at St. Louis City Hall. The Congressman welcomed 48 outstanding high school students from across the City of St. Louis and St. Louis County. The Congressional Youth Cabinetwill advise Congressman Clay and his staff on key national and local issues that impact young people.
In his remarks to the new group, Congressman Clay said, “This is not just a nice honor or a passive appointment. This is an exercise in real youth civic engagement. The new C.Y.C. will give me a direct link to the things that really matter to you and have an impact on your life. I need your voices, your energy, and your personal investment in this endeavor, to help me do my job better. You are going to discuss the most important issues facing our nation and our community.”
This first of its kind effort in Missouri is an on-going process that will provide top students with a path to become advocates for the issues that matter to them.
