PORTLAND (AP) — Muna Mohamed of Lewiston and Andrew Sandweiss of Bangor have been selected as Maine’s delegates to the United States Senate Youth Program.
Republican Susan Collins said she was the first delegate from the program to be elected to the U.S. Senate. She said the program allowed her to meet the late Sen. Margaret Chase Smith and reinforced her decision to go into politics.
She said she’s looking forward to meeting the two Maine students. Mohamed attends Lewiston High School, where she’s class president. Sandweiss attends Bangor High School, where he’s student council president.
They will be joining 102 other students from across the country— spending a week in the nation’s capital and seeing the political process first-hand.
