On
February 26, State Senator Hoon-Yung Hopgood stopped by to visit eighth-grade
students at West Middle School. Sen. Hopgood discussed his goals for this term
in office. He spoke of his willingness to serve his constituents and to make a
positive difference in our state.
The
students asked Senator Hopgood several pertinent questions which he was happy
to answer. Senator Hopgood has always been a strong supporter of education. He
will continue to seek revenue to help all students fulfill their educational
aspirations.
Senator
Hopgood also feels it is important to improve our infrastructure.. Bridge
repair and potholes should be given a priority. On the subject of school
safety, Senator Hopgood was emphatic about the fact that more needs to be done.
Thorough background checks when purchasing weapons are a must.
The
school thanks Senator Hopgood for his time and information. It is important for
West students to become familiar with our government both on the local and
state levels. It is our hope that Senator Hopgood's visit sparked a call for
community involvement in our students, now and as they become qualified voters.
