Madison—Representative Joel Kitchens (R-Sturgeon Bay) released the following statement upon welcoming Emily Pinkert, from Sturgeon Bay, to Madison for the Wisconsin Senate Scholar program:

“I was proud to welcome Sturgeon Bay High School student Emily Pinkert to Madison as part of the Wisconsin Senate Scholar program this week. Her selection for admittance to this intensive week-long crash course on our legislative system is an honor reserved for only 33 of the highest performing high school students throughout the state.”

“I firmly believe in the importance of fostering a sense of civic engagement in our youth and I am delighted to see that Emily’s hard work and dedication to her studies have given her the opportunity to immerse herself in the legislative process of our state. While attending this program, Emily has received invaluable insight into policy development and constituent relations by learning from shadowing Senators throughout the week and getting a chance to spend time with legislative staff.”

“The skills and professionalism Emily has acquired throughout this week will serve her well as she continues her academics. I wish her the best of luck in her endeavors and look forward to greeting even more Senate Scholars from the 1st Assembly District in the future!”
