The Council of State Governments Announces its 2022 20 Under 40 Leadership Award Recipients
Lexington, KY — The Council of State Governments is excited to announce the 2022 recipients of the CSG 20 Under 40 Leadership Award. This annual honor recognizes the outstanding work of 20 up-and-coming elected and appointed officials from across the country who not only exemplify strong leadership skills but have also demonstrated a true commitment to serving the citizens of their states.
“The state officials recognized this year come from diverse backgrounds, different political parties, different branches of state government and from every region of our country, but they share a singular commitment to make a difference for those they serve,” said David Adkins, CSG executive director/CEO. “They are hard-working leaders who have demonstrated the ability to productively collaborate to achieve consensus and produce results, and their public service honors the oldest and best values of our democracy.”
Congratulations to these 20 leaders:
Sen. Raumesh Akbari, Senate Democratic Caucus Chairwoman, Tennessee
Assemblymember Sabrina Cervantes, California
Rep. Jordan Harris, Pennsylvania
Assemblymember Alex Lee, California
Sen. John Michael Montgomery, Oklahoma
Sen. Michael Rohl, South Dakota
Franklin Perry II, Chief of Staff, General Assembly House Democrats, Connecticut
Recipients of the 20 Under 40 Leadership Award are selected from a competitive pool of applicants from across the country and all three branches of state government.
“The CSG 20 Under 40 Leadership Award Class of 2022 winners are a testament to the tremendous efforts our state officials contribute each and every day to making their states better,” said Lorna Patches, CSG deputy director of membership engagement and leadership development.
Award recipients will be honored at the 2022 CSG National Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii, in December.
