Olympia High School student
serves as page for Rep. DeBolt
Tristan M. Davis, a
10th-grader at Olympia High School, served as a page in the Washington
House of Representatives Feb. 21-25. Davis was sponsored by
Rep. Richard DeBolt, R- Chehalis.
As a page, Davis enjoyed
an inside look at the Legislature during a fast-paced week in the state
capital. His duties included delivering messages and documents to
lawmakers in their offices, committee meetings, and the House chamber
during floor sessions.
Besides legislators, pages are the only other individuals allowed on the
floor of the House chamber, giving them a unique opportunity to interact
with their state representative, lawmakers from around the state, and
the House leadership.
The work day for pages begins at 7:45 a.m. and ends at 5:00 p.m., though
pages may be asked to work later if the House remains in session. Pages
attend a daily Legislative Page School, and also make time for their
regular homework.
Davis, 15, is the son of
Kim and Chase Davis of Olympia.
