14-year-old high school student Taylor Dickinson traveled to Olympia earlier this month to serve as a page in the Washington State House of Representatives. She was sponsored by her 35th District Rep. Drew MacEwen, R-Union.

Taylor is a football player at North Mason High School in Belfair, and also loves running, hiking and photography. Her career goal is to be an in-flight trauma nurse for the Air Force.

While serving as a page, she 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.

“It was a privilege to sponsor Taylor as a page earlier this month,” said MacEwen. “I admire her work ethic and drive, and I think her desire to serve in the Air Force speaks volumes as to the kind of person she is. I appreciate her service to the House, and wish her 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.
