2022 Kid Governor’s Cabinet

The Kid Governor’s Cabinet is led by 2022 Connecticut’s Kid Governor Makhi Ettienne-Modeste and includes the six final candidates from the 2021 Statewide Election. The Cabinet meets monthly to advise CTKG Makhi, discuss how they can support CTKG Makhi’s campaign platform in their own communities, and collaborate with each other as they accomplish their own three-point platforms.
