Spoke to Boys State at Rider University. 800 high students learning about State government. I told the students don’t be a “sound bite warrior”. Discuss the issue and the policy.

Thank you so much for joining us! You are a shining example of where our program can lead
As a former delegate, I was truly inspired by over 600 of NJ's best and brightest from @ALJBS. Public service is a calling and it was a privilege to speak with our future leaders at Boys State on how they can improve lives in their communities, the state, and across the country.

A great group for a Career Seminar tomorrow!
Looking forward to joining @ActualAlexZ, @kevintshea, and @Mmakarski tomorrow at @ALJBS for a panel on "Careers in Journalism & Media." There's more than one way to contribute to the public discourse! And there's no better way to begin figuring out 'how' than at Boys State.

Always love to have you back, counselor!
Visited @ALJBS today to talk about careers in #cyber and #tech policy, which ranged from jobs with think tanks to AI and national security. The program brings together 100s of rising high school seniors from across NJ yearly for a week to learn about government & politics. @RSI
