Little Rock, Arkansas – Today, Congressman French Hill (AR-02) congratulated his inaugural Future Leaders Council class of 2018, and invites applicants for the 2019 class.
During the inaugural class of the Future Leaders Council, the students worked closely with Rep. Hill during quarterly meetings between July 2017 and March 2018. The discussion featured topics including the U.S. Constitution, federalism, checks and balances, and how a bill becomes a law. The students heard from guest speakers, including Arkansas State Representative Doug House and Member of Parliament Rehman Chishti from the United Kingdom. The students also held a “mock congress,” in which they debated bill ideas and drafted legislation. Their bills, the Stronger Teachers Act of 2018 and the Fair Pay for the Armed Services in the Republic (FAIR) Act, demonstrated their commitment to quality education and their appreciation for our servicemen and servicewomen. The members of the 2018 Future Leaders Council included: - Wyatt Forte, Cabot, Bayou Meto Elementary School - Sarah Blanche Finzer, Little Rock, Jefferson Elementary School - Bella Eggleston, North Little Rock, Lakewood Elementary School - Ethan Morrison, North Little Rock, Lakewood Elementary School - Evan Randall, North Little Rock, Lakewood Elementary School - Elli Eaton, North Little Rock, Lakewood Elementary School - Keaden Ingram, Conway, Hurricane Creek Elementary School - Kiri Stephan, Bryant, Hurricane Creek Elementary School - Addison Jones, Benton, Hurricane Creek Elementary School - Madison Grace Crum, Greenbrier, Greenbrier Elementary School Hill said: “I am so proud of the 2018 Future Leaders Council who represented some of the smartest and brightest student in central Arkansas.
