HSOS Thomas Sibold, HSOS Hannah Jewell and Secretary of State Kris Warner
(Warner)CHARELSTON, W.Va. – Secretary of State Kris Warner played host to two students from James Monroe High School to celebrate their effort in inspiring their fellow classmates to take part in their civic duty.
Seniors Thomas Sibold and Hannah Jewell were nominated by Principal Debbie Sams as “Honorary Secretaries of State” for their work in registering at least 85% of their class to vote. Sibold and Jewell were also special guests on the Senate Floor and were recognized by Senator Vince Deeds for their service to the state and community.
“Voting is the cornerstone of our democracy and it’s always great to see young people standing up for themselves and their beliefs by making the commitment to vote. James Monroe High School seniors have set a great example for their peers and younger students by registering to vote at the age of 18,” said Warner.
