Final Day

After a life changing week of learning, legislating, and sisterhood, the time has come for the Citizens to leave the 51st state. They gathered once more as Kylee Griffin of City F addressed her citizens for the first time as Governor.

"Girls State has given me the opportunity to impact the people around me. I started the week just wanting to have fun but when I really got into it, I realized what I was fighting for and who I was fighting for: all of you!" - Kylee Griffin, Governor of TBGS 2026

As the 82nd session comes to a close, Director Lori Swann announced the delegates to Girls Nation. Anvika Jain from City C and Vanessa Valle from City D will be representing Texas Girls State at Nation, and Charlotte Williams from City E and Gargi Garg from City G will serve as alternates.

Whether you ran for an elected position, spent hours crafting legislation, or assisted in the campaigns of others, your efforts left their mark on the 51st state. We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see the wonderful things you accomplish in the future as citizens of Texas Bluebonnet Girls State.

We'd like to thank each member of the TBGS 2026 staff, every ALA member that works to make Girls State happen, TLU, all our guest speakers, and each citizen from the 82nd session.

Citizens, as you move forward in the world know that there are thousands of women who went to Texas Bluebonnet Girls State that are with you. You have all the tools you need to go out into your communities, state, and the world to make a difference. You will be strong, and you will be great because you're from Texas Girls State.

Congratulations to every Girls State citizen for a wonderful session. Welcome to the sisterhood!
