Del. Scott Surovell hosted the fourth annual Amundson Institute — named after its founder former Del. Kris Amundson which offers student leaders in the 44th

District the opportunity to learn about state government first hand. The group included Regine Victoria, junior at Mount Vernon High School; Colleen Grady, senior at West Potomac High School; Dorothy Bowerfind, junior at West Potomac High School; Nia White, junior at West Potomac High School, and Carla Castro Claure, senior at Edison High School.

The students visited with two cabinet members: Secretary of Public Safety Brian Moran and the Secretary of the Commonwealth Levar Stoney. They also met with state Sen. Linda “Toddy” Puller and state Sen. Adam Ebbin along with Amundson and former Del. Chris Saxman, and a number of government relations professionals.
