What is the Legislature at Buckeye Boys State?

Each Buckeye Boys State city will elect two different House Representatives and one Senator to serve them. At the City Party caucuses, each city party delegation will nominate two representatives and one senator each.

After being elected to the General Assembly, legislators will have the opportunity to run for chamber leadership such as Speaker of the House or Majority Leader. Members will also join legislative committees such as the Finance, Appropriations, Infrastructure, and Ways & Means Committee.

Outside of being elected to serve, there are exciting opportunities to author and design legislation as a part of the Legislative Services Committee (LSC).
