Union County 4-H had 21 youth members with 14 adult chaperones, traveling to Tallahassee for 4-H Day at the Capital on Feb. 6, 2024.

The 4-H Day at the Capital Program allows youth to learn more about their state government and experience the political process firsthand. 

The group met with Senator Jennifer Bradley, Representative Chuck Brannan, and Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson. 

Each official was eager to share how their work in Tallahassee benefits Floridians.

Union 4-Hers ended their day with a tour of the House Chambers, which explained how the Legislative session works.
