In January, the president will give his State of the Union speech to Congress. And for the ninth year, I am inviting Vermont's high school students to submit short essays describing what they think are the most pressing issues facing our country, and what they would do to solve those issues. I am always very impressed with the thoughtful essays that are submitted on a variety of topics and from different viewpoints. I will invite the twenty finalists to join me for a lively roundtable discussion at the Vermont Statehouse, and will enter their essays into the Congressional Record – the official archive of Congress. The deadline to submit an essay is January 9, 2019. I hope you consider writing an essay!
