By: Dallas & Ethan
[Lincoln, NE] – Chants of “Pillen” roared out following the Governor’s nearly hour-long Q&A with Boys’ State. Governor Pillen emphasized the importance of genuine communication, strong personal convictions, and a never-give-up attitude. Pillen answered questions across a wide range of topics, including his faith journey, leadership styles, immigration, the state’s recent budget deficit, women’s sports, and his childhood.
Before the Governor’s address on Wednesday, a spontaneous wave of chants swept through Boys’ State as cities took turns shouting, “We love [city name]!” with each city joyfully replying, “We love you!” The moment was a powerful display of unity, brotherhood, and the infectious positivity that defines the Boys’ State experience.
