Requests for interviews with or appearances by 2023 Connecticut's Kid Governor (CTKG) Ellie Mendez must be submitted through this form. We ask for your patience as all requests go through a rigorous review by Connecticut's Kid Governor® Staff, CTKG Ellie's teacher, and CTKG Ellie’s family. We consider which requests:

1) Best align with CTKG Ellie's campaign platform and move her three-point plan of action forward (read more here: CT.KidGovernor.org/CTKGEllie).

2) Share CTKG Ellie’s platform with her primary constituents, Connecticut 5th grade students and teachers (secondarily, the kids of Connecticut).

3) Raise awareness of the Connecticut's Kid Governor® program.

All requests must be non-partisan.  
 
Use the following form to submit your request for CTKG Ellie. Thorough and complete answers ensure we have the information needed to determine whether or not CTKG Ellie will be able to participate in your interview or event. Interview requests must include the specific questions that will be asked.  

Please remember that CTKG Ellie is, first and foremost, a kid and a student. All requests must be balanced with the demands of her family life, school work, and time needed to work on her campaign platform. Not all requests will be approved.
