FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AUGUSTA – Senator Eric Brakey (R-Androscoggin) visited Poland Community School’s 4^th graders on Monday, January 22 to speak about state government and hold a mock legislature for the students, in which they proposed legislation and went through the process of how a bill becomes a law. At the end of the session, each student was excited to receive a pocket Constitution and a high five from Senator Brakey.

“I would like to thank Ms. Sheryl Scribner, the 4^th grade teacher who coordinated my visit,” said Sen. Brakey. “I was genuinely impressed with how engaged the Poland Community School students were and how knowledgeable they were on the legislative process. These students give me optimism for a bright Maine future.”
