Wednesday-
So today we got up very early again to travel back to the State house in order to attend an executive council meeting and meet with the secretary of state in the building. Before we went to the State House however, we traveled across the street to the New Hampshire Youth Climate town hall to hear some of the candidates from the democratic side talk about their opinions on climate change. The first person we listened too was Amy Klobuchar. She is a senator from Minnesota and running for President. She talked about what she believes to be the result of climate change and how she thinks she can do as president to slow it down or try to prevent it.




After we left the NH Youth Climate town hall we traveled to the State House to get into the Executive Council meeting which when we got there, had found out that we had been postponed due to the governor needing to be involved in a matter with the attorney general which I later discovered was about a man who shot at a school building. While we were waiting for him to return one of the councilwomen brought us back into the senate chamber and talked to us for a while

Once we returned to the executive council chamber we got to see part of the meeting with Governor Sununu leading it. They discussed things such as appointed people with state responsibilities and accepting resignations. Also he met with a group of 4th graders that came in to say hello. 

Once the meeting was over, we went over to the secretary of state's office and met with Bill Gardner who told us he is serving his 22 term as Secretary of State for New Hampshire. He explained that part of his job is to register all the people who come to run for President. He has met everyone for decades that has come to run. It only costs 1000 dollars to run in this state or to get 10 signatures form each county which there are 10. 

After the meeting we ran back over to the Town Hall to try and catch some of Andrew Yang talk however we missed a majority unfortunately because people were talking and the group wouldn't move for a while, not really sure why. When he left the stage I went to look for him and turned around and clanked heads with him. I thought I was going to get in trouble!
After Andrew Yang left, Tom Styer came on and talked as well. He explained that he is the only candidate who says that climate change is his number one priority. He is going to try and fix and undo all the issues that have been destroying the earth for decades. He met with our class after he was done speaking and took pictures with us.

After this event was over, we went back to the GOP House and worked phones for an hour, had dinner and went back to the hotel.
