Delegates are: Cole Downs, son of Angelique Downs and Ryan Leonhart of Lakeview; Issac Meyers, son of Sharon Leopold of Lewistown, and Logan Murphy, son of Tom and Amy Murphy of Huntsville.
The 2023 Buckeye Boys’ State takes place on the campus of Miami University. The program is sponsored locally by the Huntsville American Legion Post 381.
Participants must meet several qualifications. Candidates must be juniors in high school, interested in government and current events and have an above average scholastic standing. The young men must also demonstrate high moral character, possess strong leadership skills and have a desire for learning.
The purpose of Buckeye Boys’ State is to provide a hands-on experience in the operation of the democratic form of government, the organization of political parties and the relationship of one to the other in shaping Ohio government through a non-partisan objective education approach.
