Distinguished Finalist

Chloe Dauwalder, 18, of Alpine, Utah, a senior at Lone Peak High School in Highland and a member of the Girl Scouts of Utah in Salt Lake City, spearheaded the introduction of a bill in the Utah State Legislature to require motorists to turn on their headlights during bad weather and poor visibility. Chloe researched the subject and found that shining headlights can save lives. She presented her data to her state representative, helped draft a bill, and testified before the legislature's transportation committee.
