4-H representatives from West Virginia met with Senator Capito in Washington last week
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Senate has unanimously approved a bipartisan resolution in support of 4-H and its recently-launched “Grow True Leaders” campaign. U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) was among the list of co-sponsors for this measure, which recognizes the immeasurable benefits of the national 4-H program for young people and its potential growth under the new initiative.
The 4-H movement supports young people through programs designed to shape future leaders and innovators, particularly in rural communities. Last week, 4-H launched a campaign called “Grow True Leaders,” which seeks to replicate 4-H’s success in rural communities in urban areas. The program’s new initiative hopes to reach a broader, more diverse population, impacting more African American and Hispanic children.
In addition to Senator Capito, co-sponsors of the resolution include Senators Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), John Boozman (R-Ark.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Bob Casey (D-Pa.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.), James Inhofe (R-Okla.), Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), Angus King (I-Maine), Jeff Merkley (R-Ore.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Pat Roberts (R-Kansas), Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Tom Udall (D-N.M.), David Vitter (R-La.), and Roger Wicker (R-Miss.).
