In December, I officially met my successor, 2017 Connecticut's Kid Governor Jessica Brocksom! We had a transition meeting at the Old State House where she and I had the chance to talk about my year and her upcoming term, our families talked about the Kid Governor experience, and our teachers met and talked. It was a fun meeting and I gave Jessica a tour of the Old State House!

Jessica and I also made our first appearance together at the Electoral College meeting at the Capitol on December 19! We toured the Capitol, and then led the Pledge of Allegiance in the Senate Chamber. We then watched as Connecticut's electors cast their official votes for President and Vice President of the United States!

One more thing I want to say congrats to the 7 final candidates in this past year's Statewide Election for Connecticut's Kid Governor! You all had winning campaign platforms and I hope you will carry them out whether or not you won!
Talk to you next month!
