The Youth Governor selects a Cabinet from the ranks of preregistered Lobbyists
Each year, a five member Governor's Cabinet is appointed. Cabinet members serve as lobbyists for the Governor's legislative agenda, track legislation and court cases, and advise the Governor on legislative strategy. While Cabinet members may also lobby for their own concerns, Cabinet membera are asked not to publicly lobby against the Governor's agenda. Prior to applying, the Governor will make a philosophy statement available so that potential applicants know the issues they will be asked to support.
People are selected upon application to the Youth Governor, who makes final choices. Cabinet applicants must be people who have signed up to be lobbyists, and they agree that, if selected to the cabinet, they will not forfeit a cabinet position for a legislative seat, even if one opens up in their delegation.
Applications are sent out in January and are due to the state office February 15.
