CCCNews Podcast | Episode 3: "The Dalles Elementary School Student Runs for Kid Governor 2024"

By Cole Goodwin

The Dalles, Ore., October 20, 2023 – In the latest episode of the CCCNews Podcast, host Cole Goodwin sits down with Dry Hollow Elementary's Lydia LaDouceur, a kind and hardworking candidate running for the title of Oregon's Kid Governor in 2024. Lydia’s running on a platform of conservation, kindness, and caring for Oregon’s Natural Resources. Tune in to hear Lydia share her vision for the state’s future and get a fresh perspective on conservation from a younger generation.

More Than A Title
The Kid Governor initiative is more than just a title. Organized by the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office, it's an award-winning civics program designed to educate students about the intricacies of Oregon government. The hope is to inspire leadership qualities among the young generation. Come November, fifth graders across Oregon will get to elect one of their own to this influential role.

Special Guest Appearances
Listeners of the podcast are treated to special appearances by Lydia’s mother, Monica LaDouceur, and her dedicated teacher from Dry Hollow, Courtney Kiser. Both provide invaluable insights into Lydia's journey and the significance of this campaign for young students.

To hear the full interview and learn more about Lydia's vision for Oregon, tune in to the third episode of the CCCNews Podcast on Youtube or on Spotify.
