Smith encourages students to page at the Statehouse this session

State Rep. Vernon G. Smith (D-Gary) is looking for local students from House District 14 to come down to the Statehouse to join the page program. The page program is an opportunity for students aged 13 to 18 to meet their state representative and learn about the legislative process. Pages also help their representative carry out tasks on the House floor. 

“I have been blessed to work with the best and brightest students at the Statehouse during my tenure,” said Smith. “As a former educator and administrator, I deeply enjoy the opportunity to teach our youth about the legislative process. Our students can learn about state government by being immersed in it. Any student who is in K-12 and at least 13 years old is invited to participate in the day-long program.

“I hope to see students from my community participate in this program. One of my favorite parts of the legislative session is getting to meet and work with these student pages. I look forward to meeting every student participating in this great program.”
