Heine welcomes local student pages to the Statehouse

STATEHOUSE (April 25, 2023) – State Rep. Dave Heine (R-Fort Wayne) recently welcomed local 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 Heine on the House floor to witness and learn about the legislative process.

"I appreciate local students getting involved to learn about state government," Heine said. "Experiencing the lawmaking process first-hand is such a unique experience, and it's rewarding for me to meet and hear from young Hoosiers in our district."

These area students served as pages during the 2023 legislative session:

• Evan Bissontz, from Spencerville, is homeschooled;
• Noelle Bissontz, from Spencerville, is homeschooled; and
• Logan Hammond, (pictured with State Rep. Lorissa Sweet (R-Wabash), from Harlan, is homeschooled.

Heine said students ages 13 to 18 should consider participating during the 2024 legislative session.
