Welcome to the 2015 Youth Judicial competition.
Every year, people come together from all over Alabama to compete, meet new people and make new memories. However, it is u
p to you as the participants to ensure that we have a great 2015 year.
I would like to issue a challenge to everyone to make an effort to make new friends and create new experiences. Make this year the best competition we have had yet.
I encourage anyone interested to run for election at the district and state levels. I lost two of my first three campaigns. The first was to Jake Hemmings in a Youth Legislature election. In the second one, I could not get enough votes at the district level. I continued to put myself in unfamiliar situations and tried to meet as many people as possible throughout the state. After the third election, I am your chief justice.
This program truly does do great things, and I hope you all are happy to be a part of it.
