BHS Senior Winkie Lands Another Honor as One of Two U.S. Senate Youth Program Representatives

By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on February 11, 2020

U.S. Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) announced Monday that high schoolers Joshua Hatfield of Verdunville and Carson Winkie of Bridgeport have been selected to represent West Virginia for the United States Senate Youth Program (USSYP). 
 
“I’m excited Joshua and Carson will be joining me in Washington as part of the competitive Youth Senate Program,” Senator Capito said. “I am always inspired by the young people of our state and their potential. Both of these young men are incredibly diligent students with impressive resumes and a clear dedication to West Virginia. I am confident they will make great representatives for our state, and I can’t wait to get to know them better in March when they come to our nation’s capital.”
 
Manchin also weighed in.
 
“I look forward to meeting with this year’s student delegates from West Virginia, Joshua and Carson, and having them with us here in Washington,” Senator Manchin said. “Joshua and Carson are both incredible young people who have exhibited tremendous leadership through their commitment to their studies and involvement in their communities. These young leaders are the future of our state and their passion for our democracy is inspiring. I’m confident they will represent our great state well when they are here in Washington.”  
 
Winkie recently announced he will continue his educational and football career at a very high level. He signed a letter of intent to play football for Harvard.
