Olympia High School student pages in Washington State House of Representatives
Jordan Anderson paged in the Washington State House of Representatives February 6-10. The Olympia High School student was sponsored by Rep. J.T. Wilcox of the 2nd District.
Jordan paged during the fifth week of the 2023 legislative session. He assisted the Washington State House of Representatives with duties on the chamber floor, made deliveries on the Capitol Campus, and supported member offices. Jordan also attended Page School where he learned more about the legislative process and Washington State Legislature.
“Jordan is one of the most articulate young people I’ve ever met,“ said Wilcox, R-Yelm. “I’m glad he helped us in the Legislature this year and, if we are all lucky, he will be back in the chamber someday to help the people of Washington even more.”
Pages work a 40-hour week, earn a stipend of $50 a day, and can earn up to 20 hours of community service.
To serve as a page in the Washington State House of Representatives, students must be at least 14 years of age and have not reached their 17th birthday. The Washington State Legislature is making an exception this year. The week of April 2-7 will be designated for students who are 17-18 years old and were unable to previously participate due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
