STATEHOUSE (March 14, 2024) – State Rep. Zach Payne (R-Charlestown) recently welcomed local students to the Statehouse where they participated in the Indiana House Page Program during the 2024 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 Payne on the House floor to learn about the legislative process.

"Session is such an exciting and active time to be at the Statehouse, and paging offers students the opportunity to partake in a part of that process," Payne said. "Whether its discussions on proposed legislation or getting to learn more about Indiana's history, this is a great learning experience for Hoosiers."

Area students serving as pages during the 2024 legislative session were Katharina Luettiknuis, from Scottsburg, who attends Scottsburg High School, Finn Sawin, from Scottsburg, who attends Scottsburg Middle School, and Lena Roos, from Scottsburg, who attends Scottsburg High School.

Students ages 13 to 18 should consider participating during the 2025 legislative session. Contact Payne's Statehouse office at h66@iga.in.gov or 317-232-9600 for more information.
