PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — You know Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, but do you know Oregon Kid Gov. Rosie Lanenga?

Rosie is a 5th grader serving a one-year term, focusing on climate change.

She was elected by other 5th graders in Oregon.

Rosie also happens to be a Portlander.

As for the future, Rosie says that she hopes to go down to Salem with her seven cabinet members and talk to politicians there about their platforms.
