Israel Tellez-Medina of Berryville High School was elected as a state representative for his congressional district at Arkansas Boys State 2023, a summer leadership and civic engagement experience sponsored by the American Legion.
Tellez-Medina was elected by his peers during district elections on Tuesday, May 30, as part of the 82nd annual session of Arkansas Boys State, where students build a mock government structure, including eight congressional districts each with three senators and 10 representatives.
“Being elected as State Representative is quite the special opportunity for Israel and his fellow legislators,” said David Saterfield, director of instruction for Arkansas Boys State. “He’ll get an up-close and personal look at the legislative process with his own state legislators leading him through the process.”
Tellez-Medina is one of more than 470 students from throughout the state attending Arkansas Boys State at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway. Students are mock citizens in eight counties and congressional districts, 16 cities and two political parties.
Arkansas Boys State is an immersive program in civics education designed for high school juniors. Learn more at arboysstate.org.
