14-year-old Evergreen Christian School student Benjamin Rogers recently traveled to Olympia to serve as a page in the Washington State House of Representatives. He was sponsored by 35th District Rep. Drew MacEwen, R-Union.

While serving as a page, Benjamin attended page school every day, delivered messages and documents to legislators and staff, and fulfilled other tasks critical to the efficient operation of the Legislature.

“One of the things I look forward to most about session is having the opportunity to sponsor young people who are excited about experiencing what we do here in the Legislature,” said MacEwen. “I want to thank Benjamin for his hard work as a page in the House, and wish him the best going forward.”

Each year, students from around the state apply to participate in the House Page Program. To become a page, applicants must have a legislative sponsor, be between the ages of 14 and 16, and obtain written permission from their parents and school. Pages earn $35 per day while serving in the program. For more information about the House Page Program, click here.
