Three students attended the Junior State of America Southern California Congress in Torrance to participate in a model House of Representatives and model Senate. Zoe Dutton ’15, Samantha Garfield ’14 and Victoria Yu ’15 attended the Feb. 16-17 convention.

Garfield said committees debated and voted on peer-written bills concerning topics from contraception to universal healthcare. Any bills that were passed were “moved on to full House and full Senate for the final vote,” she said.
