The Hydery-Francken team has generously offered to donate its campaign website to High School Democrats of America. This decision was overseen by the newly elected Parliamentarian of HSDA, Aaron Wilder. Revisions and significant updates will be made in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

Samina, Atticus, and Daqavise took part in the YDA’s High School Leadership Academy while Hassan was already in the DC area for a summer program  at Georgetown University. Not only did the candidates have the chance to have some fun visiting the Capitol Building, the Newseum, and the Botanical Gardens, but they also had the opportunity to review last minute convention details and to brainstorm ideas to better the high school caucus. The four of them are truly excited to work together in the upcoming  year. Please take a look at some pictures from the day!
