They came with campaign buttons, yard signs and enough energy and enthusiasm to impress the most seasoned politicos.

The nearly 300 attendees at the annual WSU Extension 4-H Know Your Government (KYG) Conference took politics into their own hands as they lobbied, gave speeches and asked 4-H teens for their vote to elect the next KYG governor.

. . . The 21 candidates were narrowed to three with Caleb Klein from Edwall, Thorpe’s Gabby Eddings, and Alex Bistrevsky from Spokane Valley taking the top spots. 

After more speeches and an extensive question-and-answer session the final vote was cast with Klein receiving the nod. 

One of his first activities will be meeting First Lady Laura Bush at the Helping America’s Youth Conference in Portland later this month. . . . Complete Article

4-H Know Your Government Caucus


Prior to the KYG Conference in Olympia, delegates met via WSU video conference system on January 23rd.

The delegations outlined the community issues they had identified and formed into planks and then presented these planks which would be heatedly debated at the 4-H Know Your Government Conference in Olympia.

19 candidates were introduced who were running for Governor of the 4-H Know Your Government Conference. They were well prepared and very articulate!

Check out the broadcast of the January 23rd. KYG Caucas!
