Girls' State was a week long conference where students interested in government lived and acted as actual government figures. At this mythical government held at the University of Arizona, Chris campaigned and made herself known among the other 280 students from Arizona by asking a lot of questions when she was in a group and directing the choir group. Chris explained how difficult it was to print literature for her campaign and added that face-to-face was her best way to be recognized. Her untiring efforts gained her the position of the presiding office of Governor of the State. She was the first governor from a Tucson high school in five years.
