Jo Ann Davidson Speaks at Buckeye Girls State

The citizens of Buckeye Girls State received an energetic welcome at the official opening ceremonies of the Girls State program. Director Sara Huckeby was master of ceremonies and rallied the citizens’ political enthusiasm. The Girls State department heads were introduced and Betty Montgomery, Ohio’s Attorney General, was the surprise guest speaker. Montgomery showed the citizens her excited support, and was impressed by the boundless energy of the Girl Staters.

The keynote speaker for the night was Ohio Speaker of the House Jo Ann Davidson. Davidson spoke of the many accomplishments of Ohio female politicians and hailed how far women have come in our government within the last century. “I hope,” Davidson asserted, “that the first female President of the United States is sitting in this room.” This suggestion was greeted with loud cheers from the citizens. Davidson explained the key role that the Girl Staters would play in America’s future, and how important each job is to the overall success and well-being of Buckeye Girls State.

Her speech was well received by the citizens. Said one resident of Rice City, “she was inspirational…she really emphasized what being at Buckeye Girls State is all about.” The sentiments of the other citizens were similar.

Girls State is a hands-on week long government simulation for girls all across Ohio. Girls can run for all types of political offices on the state, county and city level. Many participants value this program as an educational and beneficial experience. It is sure to be a successful undertaking for all citizens involved.
