Last week, over 1,500 electric cooperative leaders from across the country gathered in Washington, D.C. to make their voices heard on Capitol Hill during NRECA's Legislative Conference!

Before heading out, NRECA VP of Legislative Affairs Hill Thomas sat down with three Youth Tour alumni who have turned early inspiration into careers in the policy arena. As Trudy put it: "You are the good guys. You are here helping your communities and doing the work that needs to be done."

Thank you to Tara, Hannah, and Trudy for sharing how the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour shaped your journeys, and for reminding co-op leaders why this work matters.

2026 delegates, are you ready to start making your mark?

"Wear your comfy walking shoes — they don't have to be brand new. If you do buy new shoes, break them in a month before you go." — Taylor B.

D.C. will humble you fast if you don't come prepared. Your feet will thank you later. 👟
