This is the seventh year that Lexington has participated in the conference. Over 200 students from around Ohio participated. The students were paired up and they spent the school year preparing bills to present at the State Capitol House on March 21 and March 22, 2024. Darcie R., served as the President of the Senate, and Jacob H., served as a lobbyist. All seven of the Lexington's bills passed the committee phase and were passed in the House and Senate. Two of which were signed into law by the Youth Governor.

Katya P. was elected to be the 2025 Secretary of State. Scott B. was selected as the top Senator. Darcie R. was selected as the top Committee Chair. Jacob H. was selected as the top Lobbyist.
