Assemblyman Sean T Kean returns
Mr. Wronko’s students and the college ready students in Ghana were thrilled to have Mr. Kean as a guest.
His presentation
Mr. Kean gave a great presentation in which he covered many topics regarding his career as a legislature and attorney. He also provided a background for the students about what a legislature was.
Below was what he spoke about and this came from my notes. His presentation had so much I set up in a list format. For instance, he spoke about:
- How a legislature consisted of people such as lawyers, doctors, teachers, and farmers. When a problem occurred in an area of expertise, other legislatures hoped that person of occupation could help out with passing a bill that would help everyone.
- When you become an assemblyman like him, you could hold onto another job.
- When you work for the Federal Government, you only have the one job.
- Many state governments have their sessions around the winter months because the legislatures belong to farming.
- In New Jersey the legislature was always in session year round.
- New Jersey consisted of 40 districts that would change every ten years based on the population.
- New Jersey needed to emphasize the history of the American Revolution more because of the major battles that had taken place such as the Battle of Trenton and the Battle of Monmouth.
Students ask Assemblyman Sean T Kean questions
After Sean Kean’s presentation, Mr. Wronko’s students and the college ready students of Ghana asked him numerous questions. Some questions were:
- What is a legislature?
- What do you enjoy about your job?
- Were you involved in debates and what were they like?
- Where do you see yourself in the future of politics?
- What is your work load like?
After answering numerous questions, Mr. Kean was able to pose with the students for some pictures. On behalf of the students of MLK and Ghana thank you Mr. Kean for attending this session.
