On the afternoon of February 5th, you will be able to watch the candidates’ pre-recorded speeches.  At the Legislative Session, they will also give a very brief speech before the question and answer period.

Students registered for the Legislative Session may submit questions for the candidates.  Questions will be randomly selected and each candidate will have the opportunity to respond during a 30-minute question and answer session.  In addition to the “Meet the Candidates” Town Hall meeting, students attending the Legislative Session can meet with candidates during a morning “Meet and Greet” and again during “Lunch Chats” before receiving their ballots for preferential voting (rank choice voting).  The top two candidates’ names will be forwarded to the Governor for consideration of appointment to the State Board of Education for 2022-20223.

Before the Legislative Session, there are several opportunities to get to know the candidates.

MASC will post their social media and any web pages that the candidates may create.  They are allowed to campaign via social media only.
