STATEHOUSE (May 15, 2023) – State Rep. David Abbott (R-Rome City) recently welcomed Whitley County students to the Statehouse where they participated in the Indiana House Page Program during the 2023 legislative session.
As pages, the students assisted lawmakers and staff with daily duties, toured offices of all branches of government in the Statehouse, and joined Abbott on the House floor to witness and learn about the legislative process.
"It's great to see local students taking an interest in state government," Abbott said. "They're able to learn a lot in one day from touring the historical Statehouse to watching legislators consider bills for new laws."
Columbia City High School students Alina Houser and Karmen Brown, both of Columbia City, served as pages during the 2023 legislative session.
Abbott said students ages 13 to 18 should consider participating during the 2024 legislative session.
