Daughter of slain Ukrainian journalist becomes youth governor of Virginia
Salome Gongadze, the daughter of slain investigative Ukrainian journalist Georgiy Gongadze, has been chosen as next year's youth governor of Virginia. A general assembly of other high school students elected the 17-year-old on April 18.
Called the Model General Assembly Program, it aims to familiarize high school students with the legislative process in the state, according to the group’s website. It is administered by the YMCA Youth and Government program, a faith-based group established in 1936 that currently operates in 38 states and Washington, DC.
