Ms. Goddard goes to Washington

A recent Sunset High School alumna, Alexandria Goddard, attended President Trump's State of the Union speech Tuesday evening at the Capitol in Washington, D.C.

Goddard was the guest of Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici, whose district includes Beaverton and much of Washington County.

"It was absolutely amazing," Goddard said Wednesday. "I got to meet people who I'm going to have to call heroes. Seriously."

That included Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi — Goddard said she got to talk to her about her voter-activism program at Portland State University — and Rep. Lucy McBath of Georgia.
