U.S. Rep. Ed Whitfield (KY-01), Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Energy and Power, held an online discussion with fifth grade students at Farley Elementary in Paducah from his Washington office yesterday.

Students had the opportunity to ask Congressman Whitfield questions they prepared as he shared facts about the U.S. government and his typical day in our nation's capital. Whitfield held the video conference as part of Constitution Week, which lasts until September 23rd and commemorates the 227th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution on September 17, 1787.

"It was a pleasure to speak with the students at Farley Elementary about the importance of government and the United States Constitution," said Whitfield. "Our youth are our future, and we must continue with our commitment to education, and preparing them for the years to come. Constitution Week provides the opportunity to reflect upon what the Framers of our Constitution intended and the importance of our great Nation."
