When Vice Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan spoke at Colorado Mesa University five Collbran Job Corps students were there with Rachel Nelson, Grand Mesa High School/Collbran Job Corps Social Studies Instructor. Students have been learning about the candidates and the importance of being informed voters in their Social Studies class.

   While the students didn’t personally meet Ryan they did meet and speak with Senator Steve King.

   The students’ enthusiasm for learning and participating in elections includes 26 students who will work as election judges in Mesa County November 2nd and 6th.
