The Peru Gazette

Tuesday, May 21, 2024 – Senator Dan Stec (R, C-Queensbury) welcomed Peru High School junior Melina Mitchell to Albany as part of the League of Women Voters’ 2024 Students Inside Albany Conference. Mitchell, one of 60 students statewide selected for the conference, spent the afternoon in Albany at the Capitol and shadowed the senator while the Senate convened for session. Stec appreciated having the opportunity to welcome her to Albany and help one of our students better engage with the state legislative process.

“It was a pleasure to welcome Melina to Albany and learn more about her and her interest in government and public service,” said Stec. “Programs like the Students Inside Albany Conference are a great way to encourage civic engagement and participation. I hope Melina enjoyed her time at the Capitol, learned more about the state Senate and continues to stay involved and interested in government. I look forward to hearing great things about Melina in the future.”
