Recently the Orange County Youth in Government held elections for mock government positions. Students running had to campaign at a YIG event in Newburgh and record a speech which was watched by students in social studies classes across all 11 participating districts. Port Jervis had 3 students run: Avery Edwards, who ran for NY State Senator, Yacine Niasse, who ran for NYS Attorney General and Noemie Florant, who ran, as the incumbent, for Governor. After a tally of the votes, Noemie was declared the winner of the Gubernatorial race and will travel to Albany in May for a tour of the capital and a meet and greet with state elected officials. Congratulations to all three ladies for their participation in this event.
