Who brings the Governor's Message at the start of each legislative session?

• A. The Lieutenant Governor.
• B. The Speaker of the House.
• C. The Governor.
• D. The Chief Justice.

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is who communicates the Governor’s plans and state of the state to the Legislature at the opening of the session. The Governor is the one who personally delivers the Governor’s Message, addressing a joint session of both chambers to outline the state’s condition, budget priorities, and proposed legislation. This reflects the executive’s role in setting the legislative agenda and informing lawmakers directly.

The other officials have different duties: the Lieutenant Governor serves as Senate president and handles other duties, the Speaker leads the House, and the Chief Justice heads the judiciary. They do not deliver the Governor’s Message to the Legislature.
