Legislative Update (Sept. 16, 2015)

Wednesday, September 16, 2015

Dear Neighbors,

The 2016 legislative session will be here before you know it. That means it’s time for our high school students to start thinking about taking part in the Minnesota House of Representatives High School Page Program.

This is a fantastic opportunity for any students interested in government, politics, or the legislative process. Participants will meet legislators and constitutional officers, help staff prepare for committees or floor sessions, and gain valuable experience working at the Minnesota House of Representatives.

The program, which begins its first week on March 14, 2016, is open to all students in their junior year of high school. The deadline to apply is December 4 with all applicants being notified before the first of the year.

I have friends who participated in this program during high school and absolutely loved it. If this sounds interesting to someone you know, I encourage him or her to apply. It’s a great chance to see firsthand how our state government operates.

To view the application, click here. If you have any questions, I’d be happy to help, or, feel free to contact the House Sergeant’s office at (651) 296-7452.

Best,

 

Drew
