Today, Congressman Jason Smith visited a civics class at Plato High School and took questions from the students. The conversation covered everything from how to get involved in public service to Smith’s experience as one of the youngest members of the House of Representatives.
“When I talk to students, I want them to see that they can make a difference in their communities now,” said Congressman Smith. “They don’t have to wait until they are older to have a positive impact.”
Congressman Smith connects with students during “Congress in the Classroom” chats both in person and via video chat. “Sometimes students are surprised to learn that changes made in Washington can affect students right here,” Smith said. “These conversations help make Congress accessible; and who knows, maybe one of these students will run for office someday.”
