Rep. Hudgins helps explain the census to local high schoolers

Rep. Zack Hudgins recently spent some time with Tukwila High School student Adrian Quichocho who produced a video project to promote the upcoming U.S. Census.

The 11th District Zack represents, and specifically, the Tukwila school district, is one of the most culturally and ethnically diverse in the nation. Over a hundred different languages are spoken in the high school alone.

As Adrian's video demonstrates, many of those students, and their families, have never experienced a census before, and consequently, may not realize how significant it is to our democracy. In fact, it's as important an exercise as voting.

We'll let Adrian and Zack do the explaining.
